I would have been fine with it. I was ecstatic when they signed Big Steve. Excited what I had heard about him and more excited by the other schools showing real interest in him later on. This is the part of the crap shoot in recruiting and development the staff needs to do. Archie took a shot at an overweight and OOS Big Steve and it was paying off big-time. Very few of these BIGS are finished products the day they hit college for the first time. You hire a great S&C staff...
UD is not good enough to have their pick of the litter in players and never has been. Crystal ball and development will always be crucial to their success as in most teams..
