I don't think you can be at this kind of institution and mislead a young man and have him make a decision to come here by telling him what he wants to hear. Over her five plus years, Kauffman has met a lot of players and parents of players. Some, she said, are more memorable than others. There's no rhyme or reason to that. Sometimes you'll say a name and I can tell you what school he's from.
Some players stand out, though.
This year it was Jeff Backes and Simon Fraser. Just seeing them at the game, them being over here for practices, that kind of stood out. Some kids are more outgoing. They come to a football game so the ones that are more outgoing are easier to get to know than the one's that just come in and get their tickets and go out and watch the football game. Some come for one or two football games, and that's all we get to see them until they make their official visit.
