Lavin Hard on the Recruiting Trail

Marillac is turning into Scotch. Even using quote marks. Hah.

Lav seems like the type who would go stir-crazy if he didn't always have someone to talk to.  Twitter must be a lifesaver for him.

“@STJCoachLavin: Always a fluid scenario with recruiting. But expect we will 7 or 8 scholarships to use for the 2012 and 2013 recruiting classes.”

Think he is more interested in connecting optimism w recruits?

I actually like how he's keeping fans in the loop.  Let him talk.  As long as he brings the kids in, he's fine.

Just a quick question. What are the rules (not ethics) regarding reaching out/speaking to a recruit who has only verballed but hasn't signed yet?

LOL. I should of remembered that one.

Here is the 2012 Rivals 150 list of guys unsigned (except Tobey). By all means, I am not saying we are in the hunt for all (or any) of them. However, it might give you something to work off of to think about guys that we maybe going after although some of us don't think we can land (or think the staff are actually pursuing).
