So it was kinda true, WMU was the best offer he was going to get, because he ended up at NDSU.

I don't have a clue why people on this board are talking about Fleck. I've been in the same room with him and heard him talk his pitch. He's a motivational speaker. His high tempo practices fit in perfectly with the brand he's selling. However, I don't know how his brand is going to weather the competition of the Big 10 in the long run. There has to be substance to sustain. That substance, imho, is caring about the players. I have every reason to believe the coaching staff at USD has that substance because I truly think they care about their players. With Fleck, I talked to a 2017 DE recruit's mom this last year and she told me her son was invited over to Western and they told him they intended to offer but only if he committed on the spot. His HS coach also told him he thought that was the best offer he was going to get. Talk about pressure and what's good for who??? This definitely wasn't what was best for the recruit. Smoke and mirrors only last so long. But I think Fleck will always be driving the best of the new Corvettes! Sorry, I feel I need to comment about PJ. When my son went on a Junior day, he got an offer with the same ultimatum, either take it or lose it if you walk out the door. When I challenged that we had yet to see any part of the University other than the football facility and Academics are an important part of the decision, he did not care. When we returned in the summer for camp, he gave the same stories and pitch and I noticed then that he fails to make eye contact with anyone, as I sat in front of him and he did not notice me until I asked a question. He comes off as insincere and a narcissist when you get to know him. There were lots of billboards in Kalamazoo with his picture on it and not pictures of his players. He is high energy and his first speech can inspire, but the true depth of the man is very shallow. My experience with Coach Nielson and his staff was very different. Very sincere and caring. Education is a part of the equation, but there is still that high energy and drive to succeed. I know it is Big Ten, but I think the USD staff can win the recruiting battle regardless. |

On the same page completely and agree that Nielson could win a lot of the battles even against a Big 10 team with those facilities! Fleck turned off most parents I've talked to. |
