What’s the deal with rifle recruiting?
August 13th, 2008 - byThink that because you don’t play football, basketball, baseball, softball or women’s volleyball, that means you don’t have to worry as much about recruiting?
Think again!
On the University of Kentucky Athletics Web site, the Wildcats rifle team head coach Harry Mullins details his team’s upcoming season. In addition, he talks about the schools on the schedule — and some of their recruiting classes. Some excerpts from the coach:
“UT Martin had a great recruiting class and like many others have a solid core coming back.”
“WVU finished strong last year right behind us at the NCAAs. Their recruiting class this season was ranked as one of the top in the nation. …”
“Our match with Ole Miss will be another conference match. Ole Miss did a good job recruiting this past season and they are traditionally stronger at the end of the year.”
So, for you smaller sports out there – tennis players, field hockey players, swimmers, male volleyball players and golfers — let this be a lesson to you. If a sport like rifle concerns itself with recruiting, don’t you think your sport might as well?
