He will have no problem recruiting! Interesting though, he says in the interview that he is looking for long term players rather than short term. Not sure how feasible that will be with current era.

That sounds like high school post graduate prep school and transfers with two or more years eligibility when I heard these comments

Great post, Luckey! Thanks!

This a Podunk podcast for sure, but sometimes "your best ability is availability". The fact that Stan entertained doing it is extremely encouraging. He was enthusiastic, poised and projected the image of the job that I desperately wanted. He is not "recruiting to Afghanistan" like Murphy, nor after a loss will he say "I will be winner, whether it's here or somewhere else" like English. Heath sincerely wants to be in Ypsilanti, he is talking the talk of campus and community engagement that a coach with a principle residence in NY State simply cannot do.

I was not a Heath guy at all. If I were to interview him, however, he would have pushed buttons that Bronkema did not have available. He is a class guy, he was speaking extemporarily in this interview and his performance was nothing less than impressive. I think Wetherbee might have gotten this one right.
