Some validity to what you are saying, but most would say Chris did a great job. Beat Cornell in a dual snapping an obscenely long Ivy streak. Beat Lehigh a few times. In the end, he *did* recruit Kolodzik, Glory and Monday (among others like AA Brucki) so you can't just discount that.

Really? When you get to that level of excellence, it can hardly be regarded as a step down.

The way I always heard it was Stanford out west, Notre Dame in the middle and Harvard back east.

Gimp: you can correct me if I'm wrong on any of this Tom Hutchinson accepted an appointment to West Point out of high school, but left and transferred to Lehigh. He placed 3rd in Illinois states as a senior, losing to Eric Bates who was NCAA top seed in 1971 (finished 5th.) He entered Lehigh's IM wr...
