More from the recruiting reception . . .
Lance Anderson compared Alijah Holder to Richard Sherman in that he is a bigger, more physical cornerback.
Anderson described Perez and Okereke as inside linebackers.
Morgan Turner said Schultz is a Zach Ertz type of player.
Several coaches mentioned the performances of our recruits in the various all-star games (Gibbons, McCaffrey, I think someone else also). I was a little surprised that the coaches emphasized that.
The attendance at this event was the largest I can remember. Lots and lots of people there.
Shaw thanked several people, starting with the coaches' wives, President Hennessey, and the admissions office. Shaw seemed more relaxed and confident in this setting than I can remember him being in previous years. Shaw said he often is asked whether the football program has changed the admission office's standards. He said no, what has changed is the coaching staff's understanding of what the admissions office requires. He said the coaches are getting better at finding admissible prospects, not perfect, but better.
My wife thinks Joey Alfieri is handsome. He's replacing Tyler Gaffney on her list of favorites.
