I don't like the recruiting either, but let me run this by us. One of Mars Hills players came from some part of Birmingham and was basically an unknown last year. The reason he came was the fathers job required a move to the Florence area. They purchased a home from my wife and the boy could attend Mars Hill because he was in that zone. The reason why-Christian family with Godly values and wanted a successful future for the kids outside of a sports setting.

Coaches started working with him and he turned into a pretty good ball player. At 6' 4" and 270, he had size to play. Coaches helped develop him like all coaches do and he now has interest from several SEC schools. I wish him good luck in the future. I fished with the boy several times this year and you will never meet a more well mannered and Godly young man than him. He is truly a pleasure to be around and is as humble of a person you will ever meet. I don't know if he has the meanness to play at the next level, but we may get to see. I wish we had more young leaders like him.
