Tony Jones on Brady Heslip

Tony Jones has returned and has the latest on Brady Heslip here.The ETA for his college decision is detailed in the article.

What's interesting is that most if not all of us outsiders look at being at the center of a college recruiting battle as a dream come true. In a way, it certainly is, but in a case like Heslip's, it would be easy to become jaded due to the treatment he received when the new coach took over at Boston College.

How do you tell what is being told to you by yet another coach is real? Will he get recruited over despite 'promises' to the contrary? What if his 'new' coach also gets let go or moves on to a higher paying position in say a year or two? All these scenarios -- with no conclusive answers -- are mentally wearing. Plus, the travel he has undertaken in the last few weeks has to be physically wearing.

Our sense is that Heslip will be happy when the decision on a new location is in his rearview mirror. The 'joy' in the process has long departed and it is a business decision he must make.
