Assistant Scotty Thurman is recruiting Thatch.
Fred said he won’t be able to make it this weekend.
Talked to Fred tonight and he plans to visit for a game in Jan.
His coach’s wife is from Arkansas and is a huge Razorback fan. He said she has given a history lesson on the program.
Never hurts to have the coach’s wife recruiting for you. Unless that’s somehow an NCAA violation… :?:
LOL. No doubt. That’s what you call a pervious relaltionship so it’s all good.
pervious relationship?
An existing relationship before the prospect gets to the ninth grade and becomes recruitable
Fred’s a good kid–both athletically and academically. Watched him play lots of basketball in Sikeston. He continues to develop his game. Sikeston is known for its fast-paced style game.
He so impressed me when we talked. He has his stuff together.
