Kids that committed to BC knowing full well Spaziani would not be coming back as HC next season.
All in all, not a good start for Bates' boy, Daziani!

Agreed. But, I think what I (and most) find confounding about Daz's interim class here is that Daz isn't someone removed from the college game for a decade. He is someone who has been consistently and continuously on the recruiting trail. Spazoo assistants have left and taken our recruits (or kids we were recruiting) with them. Not only has The Dazzler failed to do that but he his assistants have ALSO failed in opening doors to 2013 kids they had been recruiting. It's somewhat troubling. Perhaps things change with a full year selling BC. Perhaps 2-10 is too toxic. Perhaps Daziani has some magical Rcruiting Coordinator he has been waiting to announce that will cure all of our problems. I don't know. But, even his most ardent supporters expected more on the recruiting front than what has been delivered.
What's crazy here is that, even though it's only 50 days later, I'd bet anything that BB wouldn't hire Dazoo if he had the chance to do it over again. The only good news here is that if (and that's a big IF) gets the chance to hire another coach in a major sport, he will know not to listen to the "We Are What We Are" assholes like Marin and Leo.

If you believe ATL, he DIDN'T listen to the "We Are What We Are" assholes as they supposedly told him NOT to hire the Dazzler.

You have it wrong. What ATL said was that there were plenty of groups who gave input early in the process and warned BB about potential candidates. However, he ignored them in favor of the same tired folks who run the school (admin and Board) who were vocal in the hiring of Spazoo.
In his off-campus Pow Wow before Thanksgiving with select "friends of BC," the group told Brad Bates that three names would be deflating hires to the BC fanbase. Those names were Tim Murphy, Sean McDonnell and Steve Addazio.

I think we're saying the same thing which is that he went against the advice of people who told him not to hire Dazzler. I think I just believe this "friends of BC" group consisted of "We Are What We Are" douches.

I know some who were a part of it and they are very, very far from the We Are What We Are types. They were the Flynn Fund guys and former players who were gutted by the hire because they believed BB's bullshit.
ATLeagle {l Wrote}:Just to clarify, the group that met with Bates were not "we are what we are." They think BC should be as good as Stanford under Harbough or Coughlin 20 years ago.

I hope I'm wrong but I think this is a waste of a scholarship. It's not readily apparent that Walsh is a legit BCS level QB and it indicates to me that Daz is more tied to his system than playing the best players. I get that we'll need a QB next year and there's something to be said that throwing as many guys into the mix as possible will give us the most options, but it seems like a reach to me.

Why are we still signing kids with no other BCS offers?
Sometimes, I really question the decision making in this athletic department concerning recruiting

Shaddix {l Wrote}:People said that about Monteroso and Daniels as well.... Walsh is also the number 22 rated dual threat QB according to rivals, ahead of FSU and Baylor commits. I don't think his film looks outstanding by any means, but he could develop into a pretty good QB.

Monteroso had an Iowa offer when he committed to BC. Also, both earned new BCS offers during their senior year. Walsh didn't. Now I don't think Walsh is an awful player and I hope he ends up being Flutie 2.0 but given what we know it doesn't make a ton of sense to bring in a third QB to a small recruiting class who only has MAC offers.
