Dave,
To say the recruiting process is overwhelming is an
understatement. After hearing from over 50 colleges and receiving offers from
the Big 10, Big East, MAC and Ivy League and numerous campus visits, Joe has
given his commitment to Indiana University.
He is excited to pursue his goal of continuing his football and academic
career at a highly rated university in the Big 10. Joe is excited and confident
of his decision after a great visit last week and was very impressed with the
coaches, the campus and the
academic offerings.
Head Coach Dinardo, Coach Mangiero and Coach McConnell were great and gave Joe
the impression he would be able to contribute to the team as a true freshman and
have the opportunity to kick and punt during his career.
Joe has been very fortunate, as it is common for kicker/punters not to be
offered until late in their senior year, and now he can focus his energy on the
upcoming season where he is slotted to play receiver and def. back in addition
to his kicking responsibilities at St. Edward High School.
Thanks for all of your attention and interest in Joe. Your website helps a
lot of Ohio prep athletes in getting the attention they deserve.
Sincerely,
Kevin Kleinsmith
