Where is this coming from? Snelson?

I would guess Snelson was the driving force behind this quip, but the Kill/staff mantra was always "we want kids who want to be here." It's not new mantra.

 

[e.bigelow]

Don't all coaches want to coach kids who want to be there?

 

[WhoFellDownTheGopherHole?]

Perhaps intimating that the U withdrew the offer to Snelson at some point, without saying it outright?

 

[kandj]

One thing to consider- If they don't want to be here, they probably aren't here- so no need coach them at that point!

 

[hungan1]

If Claeys did pull the offer, it is probably for the better for team cohesion among other things.

I speculate it must have been during the coaches' last in-home Florida visit that the decision was made.

That is too bad.

Offer being pulled might explain why Snelson didn't have a Minnesota cap on the table...

 

[Spoofin]

Offer wasn't pulled.

 

[Winasota Gopher]

Snelson wasn't dtf so we left that fatty at the dance, we all been there before. Not a tough decision during the 2 minute drill.

What am I missing?

Do you really need to pull an offer from a kid who doesn't want to come?

Nope; you move on to the next kid.

Should a kid you really want decide to commit and you have no available scholarships? You move on from the kid you least wanted (who had committed). That happens at every school every year.

In the interest of remaining classy I'll say that's what WG was saying.

Lol, I think we can all agree Down To Florida is much dirtier ; )

It ain't called the dirty south for nothing.

Yep...if you posed the question to every single coach in the country I find it hard to believe you would find any coach that says they want players that have no desire to be on the team. Nothing to see here.....move along....

Every coach says that on signing day.
