According to the buzz I heard in the short ten minutes I was there, this man is not well liked! One person said "oh he talks a good game when needed, but becomes a completely different character behind closed doors"  He has been at HF for a year now and I guess his true colors are starting to show.  They always do in time. [/quote] He probably was not hired on his ability to host signing ceremonies. I am sure the athletes that signed don't appreciate your comments though. Its about their great accomplishments, not how long the ceremony was. Congrats those that signed, and we are so proud of you. What else is there to say? [/quote]You totally missed the big picture.  The way this man hosted the ceremony was a reflection of his lack of support and respect for his athletes.  The ten minute ceremony itself wouldn't have been offending if those ten minutes were spent celebrating these athletes accomplishments.  The AD showed absolutely no pride in the athletes great accomplishments.  These athletes deserved better and if this man does not have the ability to host signing ceremonies or is not capable of executing a professional/respectful ceremony I am sure Hamshire Fannett has many more employees that are not only able, but willing to take on this role. [/quote] I think you are just grasping for something to complain about. [/quote]Your wrong.  I have no reason to just complain to be complaining. I don't even have children at HF nor did I graduate from HF.  I was attending the ceremony because of a connection I have with one of the athletes and truly felt sorry for how little recognition was given to those 4 men.  An observation.......sad observation

If H.F wants to compete on the Varsity level then he's gonna have to play those guys up. Hj is wasting no time grooming their Freshman Sensation (Bosha) who put up 20+ against Ktz in his 1st Varsity game. Oh and he starts... [/quote]I disagree. The varsity is not void of good players. My biggest issue is pulling the best together....I want to compete...not just play. And this will become a very pivotal issue next year....I want a winning attitude to become infectious and we need to start now. Lastly, this is nothing personal at the coach...happen to like the coach a lot...nice person. Just trying to gain an understanding of the plan. Kudos to HJ for starting early Bosha will gain a lot from the experience. [/quote]Pivotal issue next year because both your boys will be in high school.  Laying the foundation now?  Would you have started this thread if your freshman was already on varsity?
