Who's the Harvard HC? Must be developing his recruits. Just goes to show that you don't have to have the "Diaper Dandy's" to be successful @ Division I. It's what you do with then AFTER they arrive that counts.

Been doing some reading on their team. He has recruited quite impressively at Cambridge.
