Rob and his staff had no problem recruiting City players. But there are only a few MPS players a year who are D1 quality, and the further sad truth is that many of them have great difficulty qualifying. I know specifically of high profile MPS guys that we simply couldn't look at -- but who were admitted elsewhere. I will also say that I personally believe that inasmuch as one of the core missions of our University is to be an access institution, our sports teams should not be held to an artificially high standard in that respect.

But if a new coach is able to recruit more kids from the City, I can pretty much guarantee that means that new coach will be getting an accommodation that Rob was not allowed.
