Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

The event previously known as "Junior Day"

Per Eklund, there will be no more "Junior Day", mainly due to the fact that they can't invite every high school player in the state. This leads to entitled little 2-star, d-II bound brats and their coaches getting their feelings hurt.

The plan is instead to have multiple weekends where they focus on bringing in a handful of recruits they are zeroing in on.

Good move IMO, if true (considering the source)

    Damn, this won’t give next years Malik Putny the opportunity to convince himself he is good enough for UW and sit around all year and tweet about how he is being overlooked before he ends up committing to Montana State or Eastern. Sad!

    I think that everyone should get a scholarship

    Build bridges not walls

    I'm not sure what parallel you are getting at. I agree that we should build bridges and not walls. In this scenario though the arena of competition and what it stands for would be ruined if everyone was granted a scholarship just because.

    It was a joke. Don't over think it. But if you want to, America is the arena of competition. Not everyone qualifies for membership just because.

    You do know these are not the principles America was founded on?

    This was almost a thread about recruiting in the slowest part of the year. Now this thread has AIDS. Not Magic Johnson AIDS but Andrew Beckett, Ryan White AIDS. Thank you God! I mean Gwad, you fuck. Lighten up.
