BU Recruit-2008- Wesley Witherspoon

[BradleyBrave]

Wait a minute....Ruffin was a local kid, going to a local school, and wanted to give his local school a little publicity, and there's no denying that DRuff even had a little local fan base as well.
The only press people at the Ruffin press conference were the same reporters who had been covering DRuff locally for years through his state title run.
These "high profile" recruits are doing it totally for themselves, as they often give their press conferences at their prep schools hundreds and thousands of miles from their home towns, and they are often going to schools clear across the country, so their not trying to give the local school some press.
They are doing it for self promotion and promotion of their handlers/investors.
It is the OJ Mayo way of doing things, to get the highest public profile you can.

The comment was about kids holding pressers. Ruff held a presser. Who cares if these kids hold them or not?
