Recruiting

Just headed up to St. Cloud this past weekend for the Comets Fall Exposure Camp. There were a bunch of kids that we were already recruiting that were there as well as a bunch of new faces. Hopefully, we can get these kids on campus sometime soon to catch a football and/or play with our guys. Our guys seal the deal for the most part with any of these kids. I will probably check out the MBA Fall League over at Minnehaha Academy on Saturday. Again, there will be a bunch of kids we are already one, hopefully we find a diamond in the rough there as well. I'm off to Chicago on Sunday to check out a couple of leagues, the Joy of the Game Fall League as well as the Full Package Fall League. We got a lot of interest last year from those leagues, hopefully it will help again.

How about the US Open Final on Monday. Roger Federer had the title in his hands fell apart mentally and physically to lose to Juan Miguel Del Potro. Del Potro was very good and never backed down. I was very surprised to see Federer falter. He didn't look like he normally does. His backhand had zero pace to it and Del Potro pounded out winners on it. I wouldn't exactly count him out next year but time is catching up to him, at least in tennis years. I look for him to bounce back big time come Austrialian Open time. He is like Tiger Woods, once someone questions his ability, he works on that part of his game and then dominates from there.

Congrats to Derek Jeter on becoming the all time hits leader in Yankees' history. Still amazing to me how that organization has never had a guy get 3,000 hits. Once again, Ichiro has gotten 200 hits. That's nine straight seasons of 200. Just amazing. He is the best hitter in baseball regardless of what anyone says. Plus, he thinks that "Chicks dig the longball" was just a fad, they like the infield hit now.
