We played the recruiting game three times that I remember taking a kid we are lukewarm on in order to hopefully get the kid we want. Both times we failed but two turned out well. In the 80,s we recruited Hurly Brown with an eye toward the big tight end also named Brown who was ordained a future all pro before he even graduated from high school. He went to ND. Hurly turned out well but was a questionable character kid believe it or not. Good to see that some kids do get their act together. Another was the overweight DT named Abdulla or something like that we took hoping to get the Rhodes scholar DB that ended up at FSU. Finally in the mid fifties we took a kid from Arch Bishop Curley in Miami that we were lukewarm on named Fran Curci a smallish QB in order to get his DE teammate Jon Mirilovich. Mirilovich was average and of course Curci went on to become an all American. Hopefully we will get a success story here.
I think this staff has proven beyond a doubt that they do not offer kids, especially this early, unless they actually want them. Thus, your premise of us being "lukewarm" on Landry is presumably flawed.
