Andrew Hartigan is the younger brother of Brown's Nick Hartigan (Soph. RB, 1500yds, All-Ivy Team), right?
Here's hoping his career is every bit as successful as his brother's is shaping up to be. ;D Thanks for the news (and the pics), and...
Welcome to the Hilltop, Andy.

PL Recuits hold "press conferences?" Any word on other offers the kid had?  |

Press conferences are nothing. Have you heard about ESPN's 'announcement' show? I think it's great that people are involved with their teams, and like to follow prospects, but a nationally televised announcement show, that's ridiculous.

Regardless, I don't think press conferences for IAA bound players is common in the least.

I would have thought so too, but the way the whole process is being skewed towards making your 'announcement' a big to-do, I'm open to the possibility that it may be more common than I would have otherwise thought.
Heck, if you'd have told me six months ago that some blue-chippers would be invited to disclose their decision nationally on ESPN, I wouldn't have believed it.

yeah- it makes for pretty horrendus tv viewing- and I don't think we need to sent these kids the message that they are well accomplished already. They get that from too many friends and family- which is why you have so many jerks in the NFL and NBA. (Hockey and MLB have a far more humbling system of minor and junior leagues.)

The press conference was for all of Robinson's players, but the majority were there to see where the #1 recruit in Virginia Olu Hall was going. He picked UVA.
