I don't usually follow recruiting a ton, but this kid could be a program changer. His quotes show there's a market for kids out there who want Liberty for who we are.
And if Freeze can tap into those kids? We start becoming what we've always thought we could be.
All it takes is 4-5 kids at that level and the snowball starts.
I've been saying this since my first posts on this forum. Here's a post I made in March of 2007:
"At the risk of "outing" myself as the dreamer I am, I will take what SCAR and Tally said one step further. I agree that in the short run, the spiritual aspect of LU (including the rules) is not necessarily a big obstacle. More than that, I believe that with the right coach, it can be a drawing card for players who would never consider a place like LU based on reputation, facilities, academics or conference affiliation.
I don't know where this idea comes from that all great athletes are reprobates......... OK, I do know where it comes from, but that doesn't make it true.
There are guys playing at the highest level of college ball (and in the pros too for that matter) who are as dedicated in their Christianity as anyone at LU. Dwight Howard and Tim Tebow are just a couple of examples off the top of my head. Build a foundation here and some of these kids will be drawn by the opportunity to be a part of a team which plays the game both to win and to glorify God and a school where there are unique opportunities to grow spiritually as well as academically and athletically."
OK, I turned out to be wrong about Howard, but at the time he was talking the talk.
