DaveH,
I think any national attention is good. It may not pay rewards this year, but with Dorsey making his coments it may help sway some that are on the fence. It really depends on how active the current recruits are and the current players making potential recruits aware of how his past players view him. Waving that NC ring around will most likely help. That is one of the main reasons Weis is doing so well in recruiting I think.
Bo seems to know the players, what they need to be motivated and how to keep them pasionate.
I really like some of the things he is doing. Time will tell if this is the answer.
