That to the kids because I think that Has to be the hardest thing at division To in recruiting Because I I I hear it So much like uh kids are like oh if I Don't play at this level and then all of A sudden they fall to a certain level They're like well I guess I'll go play Like how do you communicate to help you Kind of sift through it and figure out Which guys are the right guys for You yeah I mean part of it is you know I'm very straightforward when it comes To recruiting um my first question to a Guy is why why do you play the game and What is your end goal in playing a game Like if your if your end goal is to to Play at division one Then you know and you're not getting Division one looks then you probably you Probably not a guy that I want to bring In uh because your goal is just to try To use us to get there yeah which I Understand that it happens and I'm okay With that if if there's one guy in the Room that could transfer out and go up And play division one that's fine but if You got a whole roster of guys trying to Do that like it's gonna make it a lot Tougher as a coach because now you have To try to replace guys every year and we Just don't want to be in the business of That it's too competitive to try to you Know bring in new players every day uh Because that that causes a lot of issues
Because you got to filter through you Know what's the guy's intent you know How much they love the game you know uh You know personalities you know you Don't want to recruit the wrong guys uh Because those guys could be cancers to The program
