Septon,
I am not sure if I believe what you are saying as coming directly from Rice. Perhaps it is. But I wish that you and everyone else that has a hard-on for Rice would just be quiet for a minute.
At the same time, I wish that all of these "Rice Fans" like Krock the House would sit back for a second and just look in the mirror and recognize that they are, indeed, the reincarnate of Hawk Harrelson, i.e.-the Homer of all Homers. Stop.
These guys - Lenti, Kuska and Badke - all have their work cut out for them. It's as competitive as it has ever been to get kids to go to their schools with staggering tuition. Just let it go. We are all in the same boat. I am a friend of Badke, and I can say that I don't see him doing anything that the other coaches are doing. It is just the nature of the beast. And in a shrinking pool that involves the CCL Blue, along with Marist, and now Larry, it continues to shrink. And, no need to throw Segroves into any of this.
Just stop. Edgy, can you kill this thread?
