Scott Kennedy Recruiting Quotations

Recruiting rankings are all well and good, but they shouldn't pay dividends until two or three years down the line, assuming you've recruited to where you should have (in needs) to begin with. I don't care how talented the player is, if you are playing true freshmen you're in trouble.
