[QUOTE="WVUDisciples, post: 129610010, member: 1721798"] First of all, I want to say Gibby is doing the best he can do. But the fact is that most kids and families of the highest caliber get attention from the HC. If any of you know any of the high school coaches in the Charleston-Huntington area, which I do, ask them about their relationship with Holgs. Ask them how well the players' families relate to him. Most will tell you they don't know if he's just not trying or if his personality is just not very family friendly. There's a kid at Spring Valley who's a rising sophomore, probably will be all-state this year, and his family is hearing from other HCs at SEC and ACC and Big 10 schools, but Holgs is no where to be found. These kids in the Huntington area all look up to Elijah Wellman (who went to from there) but none of their families relate to Holgs. He's just not Mr. Personality with them. It gives the impression he really is not that interested in their kid's development. I don't know if he isn't that impressed by them or he just isn't all that friendly. Even Nick Saban is doing better talking to these parents. Three of these guys are still on the table depending on who our coach is come January 1. That's from the family members. That's all i'm saying. They'd love to be able to drive 3 hours 7 times a year to watch their kids play top rated teams. They'd love to go watch a few practices. But their number one priority is that their kid will be with a HC who wants them there and looks parents in the eyes and tells them their son is wanted. [/QUOTE]
