I'm just curious. Anytime a recruit takes some time deciding, there are always a bunch of fans that get angry at the player for taking their time.
Really?
Listen, I have no life. I think that's pretty clear from my post count. I go to a bar for every game. I travel to at least a game a year. My winter social life is more or less centered around Georgetown basketball.
But I just can't get worked up over waiting another week -- or month -- to find out if a recruit is coming to GU. I like following recruiting for the same reasons I watch the NFL draft: I like seeing who is going to play for my team in the future.
But I can't bring myself to care enough about a single player to actually get angry at them for taking their time. I'm not going to even go off on how it's a really important decision for them and a minor point in our lives -- even ignoring that, I just don't get that invested.
Don't get me wrong. When Austin or Greg picked us, I was excited as all get out. But if Latavious or Roscoe or whomever doesn't pick us, someone else will. Just look at Hairston and Lubick or Thornton and Starks. And if it isn't even that -- it is just time? Eh.
Anyway, I'm curious why those who are angry/upset/annoyed enough to actually post impatient things -- or to just want a recruit to go somewhere else because they are tired of it -- or people who ascribe negative personality traits because they dare take their time with a decision -- why is it so important to you?
