I wouldn't call sending out 100 form letters out as masterful recruiting or planning. Granted , the token element of what it is, is something further beyond a "tell your mates sausage sizzle"
I guess in Uni's case they have some tuition and boarding scholarships that do,by themselves,bring interest.
Would you have Zac Hogan , Josh Radford , Dougal Perrers , Floyd Aubrey , Nick Baker in your Top 10 Marist players from 2017 to 2020 ? Maybe not Perrers or Radford but I would have thought you'd have to find room for Hogan,Aubrey and Baker with Tuquiri, Geraghty, Byrne , Downes, Moller, Tennison Woods and Law.
In any event , there are at least 5 to 6 decent players that should be in Jeeps Colts program,presently,or in the preceding year or two that arguably have them on the edge of,if not being,a Top 4 team,however those missing players are at Brothers or Uni.
FOOTNOTE : I am told by a reliable source that Aubrey and Baker to Brothers is not a done deal (despite playing some games there in the back end of this season)
