Bluedeathvalley.com:What do you think about the BDF’s current fund-raising initiative and do you think it will have a major impact?
Lee Fobbs: I’ll tell you, right now I have chill bumps running down my legs and back just from hearing that. That’s the meat and potatoes of everything - our recruiting, and you definitely have to have resources to recruit. When we come together as Aggies, working together for that cause or for any other cause, its just outstanding. I firmly believe that you guys are going to reach your goal because, honestly, there could have been a lot of people who jumped off the bandwagon after last year, but a lot of our fans stayed on. They understood the direction in which I was going. They understood that I could have tried to make a quick fix of this thing, but I’m here for the long haul ... and that’s done through recruiting. What we did this spring that I think was really important is that we kind of revamped our recruiting (strategy) a little bit. We did not go outside of the state of North Carolina. We stayed in the state and we hit every high school that our budget would let us get to. Right now our recruiting board looks really good and we’re excited about it. Not to say that we won’t go outside the state (next year), but this spring we focused on in-state recruiting and we felt like there were a lot of good kids who showed a lot of interest. You’d be surprised at how many of these kids we come across who we talk to about coming to visit our campus here. Some of them have come up on their own unofficially and they are just waylaid. Their responses are: “Coach, I’m glad I came here” and “Wow Coach, I didn’t know this about A&T.” That’s been our biggest push: to get kids on campus. Once we get them on campus, as 2008 recruits, then they’ll see now what we’re all about. We took advantage our one phone call in May. We took advantage of everything that we can do to stay in touch we these kids to let them know that North Carolina A&T is right there for them, no matter who else is recruiting them in this state. And so now, what’s happening with you guys and this fundraiser; that’s just tremendous. You won’t be able to find anything better than that because (a fundraiser to help the recruiting budget) hits right where the need is. I’m just astonished to hear that it is in the process of being done and I know that you all will reach your goal.”

Got to add Aaron Odom to the silver club with a donation of $30. Thanks to him and Daddy Warbucks (Roland Dixon) we have reached the $3,000 mark. There is no reason why we can't get to $5,000 by the end of training camp. There are a bunch of people who are still unaccounted for who I know can give at least $10- $20. www.active.com/donate/2007preseason |
