Saw about 5 or 6 schools within a 75 mile radius of FAU…
Unfortuanately every other University in the land knows they are there as well.
The days when Howard recruited kids out of Florida to Miami because they were unknown are over.
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$ and I'm out of bubble gum.

With the stadium now actually being built, is there any legitimate reason why we can't recruit a few "known" stars, not just the undiscovered diamond in the rough we seem to depend on finding? Think maybe we need to set our sights higher?
I think it is more about reality. We can set our sights as high as we want, but if we spend all of our time chasing pipe dreams, we will not spend enough time recruiting kids we may have a realistic shot at landing that can help us improve our team. The stadium will help us move up a notch, but if UF, FSU or Miami offers someone we want, guess where they will go.
I personally do not want us out recruiting a ton of "stars" so our fan base has something to brag about…until those "stars" decide to go elsewhere. IMO time is better spent looking for players–whether they are considered stars or not–who have legitmate reasons and desires to be an Owl and who can fill a need.

The stadium will help attract better recruits, as long we continue to build on the foundation that has already been laid…facilities, fan base, donors, etc.
