Not entirely accurate. I can only speak for Marc's recruiting, but Bobby never once talked to Marc in the process. It was all Kraig Paulson. He was the only Griz coach who was in contact with Marc through the process. And Marc was not even a PWO. He was an actual true walk-on who didn't start with the team until the first day of classes his freshman year. That first year was a rough one for Marc. Where he was at, Bobby barely even knew his name. You didn't get a Griz logo on your helmet or a playbook. Which makes Marc's story all the more remarkable.
The Griz didn't know how fast Marc was, because he played tennis and didn't run track.
Yeah, haha, I heard Bobby say that. The first time I talked to Bobby after Marc started getting playing time, I made sure to tell him I was Marc's tennis coach. He gave me s--t for it.
I can assure you, Marc doesn't have a single regret about playing tennis over doing track. NOT ONE :thumb:
