July evaluation period

This year, the NCAA has selected July 6-15 and July 22-31 as the summer evaluation period. Last year, this was a hectic period for Weber, without a verbal from a single recruit. The whole summer turned into an emotional roller coaster, followed by one disappointment after another. This year every one of our recruits has made a verbal commitment. In one sense it takes pressure off both the recruits and the coaches. Klee has already reported that JH will attend every one of Jereme Richmond's games. The evaluation period typically has big implications for all the players. I wonder how it is affecting our recruits, and what they hope to accomplish.
