re: Our 2016 recruits had all been forewarned about this

No, but if it has to happen before NSD, today is the day it needed to. If our recruits were here last week a somewhere else this week, it would be a disaster. As bad as the timing is, we should be thankful that we waited to have our big weekend now. Hopefully it backfires on forde or whoever orchestrated this. So far, so good
