@CoachAndrewF Coach did you take in any of the State tournament? If so, anybody leave an impression?

Andrew Francis ‏ @CoachAndrewF Close
@ssckelley did catch it on tv, cannot comment on recruits. But I always keep my eyes open

 

[ssckelley]

Jeez, and I knew he can't comment on recruits. I was hoping for a simple "yes".

 

[RoseBowlBound]

Jeez, and I knew he can't comment on recruits. I was hoping for a simple "yes".

At least we are careful!

 

[ssckelley]

yeah I pondered quite a bit on the best way to phrase that question.

 

[vosov]

At least we are careful!

Woodbury is signed...I think he is fair game to comment on.
