Interesting Response

Got an interesting e-mail in response to my column on the problems with the recruiting process that have come up in recent years.

``Came across your recent column on recruiting. As someone who follows
recruiting closely for a living, there's nothing I'd love more than for an
overhaul of the recruiting process. Talk to countless kids, parents and HS
coaches who get worn down by the process. I imagine it's only worse for
college coaches, especially those at schools outside the Top 25.

Also, for the rest of the story, when Samson Szakacsy decided to go to ASU,
it basically forced out a kid from Texas, Nick Foles, who had committed to
ASU last summer. Foles said he felt slighted by a staff that would openly
recruit another quarterback with him already on board. He's now left without
a school and said he won't sign today.
