2023 Commits

HCBC and his talented staff are obviously recruiting solid athletes whom they are molding into very good college football players. It appears that they’re also recruiting high school boys of good character whom they are molding into solid young men prepared for their post-college and post-football days.

I was on campus yesterday at the reception following Togo’s funeral and burial. As the reception was wrapping up, and I was preparing to head home, I drove up behind the Luth Center hoping that the FB team might be practicing. Fortuitously, the team was making its way, one by one (in 95 degree heat) to the practice field. Learning that HCBC had not yet left the building, I decided to wait to say Hello. Greeting and making (very) small talk with players who walked by, over the course of less than ten minutes or so, I literally lost count of how many times I heard the word “Sir”.

It is very clear to me that HCBC and his staff are creating a generation young men with CLASS who are destined for successful lives.

We’ll done all.

Dharry and 44 have yet to weigh in

The future appears to be building for a 1AA FCS championship quality program and a very competitive mid level FBS program

Perhaps covering the same ground as a couple of prior posts, here’s part of what I sent out to my 1970 Classmates in my Class email recently:

“I’ve had a saying for years that "winning begets winning" and there are many verbal commitments from recruits coming next season that are a bunch of blue chippers with Holy Cross beating out not just other Patriot League schools but Ivies and FBS (think D-IA) schools. The word is that these recruits are wowed by a number of factors including Coach Chesney (very charismatic if you have not met him); the top-notch Luth facilities; the 90-wide football alumni mentoring/networking program; and, of course, winning 3 league championships in a row.”
