No one is playing anyone. Just a little back and forth.
Baldi thinks the program would do well to grab a few locals for the heck of it. Increase the MSG ticket/gate numbers. The Bernardi posse runs large and hard i hear.
This was how louie ran the program. he'd have 3 or 4 local scrubs that didn't do anything ( Terrence Mullin anyone?)
Bottom line is, Lavin is a great recruiter and is all over the place trying to complete this roster for next season. If the spring signing period comes and goes and we have nothing to show for it, then lets kill him. Until then, lets just wait and see. i'm sure Lavin is well aware of the " what happens if X,Y,Z recruit don't sign."
