It's not a strategy. You can't make a kid commit. We are going after high end talent, that everyone wants, so you are on their timetable.
Also probably another reason why we are going after so many of them. Cast a wide net and give yourself as many options as possible.
They are backfilling the class, so it's not as if they are just sitting idlely by.
Last thing, unlike previous staff, this one seems to always have a contingency plan. Kids they keep communicating with even if they are not the primary target. Hopefully, we don't need them.
