She came away with the impression that recs were desirable to have and that you should try to get them if possible. They even offered to help the girls secure recs in case they weren't able to get them on their own. However, we have a friend that is an SEC rush veteran and she told us that you really needed to get at least one per chapter. My daughter managed to get one per chapter in the end but it was a lot of work for her. A good friend who has a daughter at Penn State could not believe that we even needed any recs at all! Things really are different in the SEC.

I of course called my friend and told her about the recs yesterday and that they were important. She said when she called Arizona they laughed at her and said their rush is not at all like the "South" -- it is much more laid back so she was assured she did not need the recs. I sure hope she does not encounter anything different when she arrives as that would be disappointing! Had the same conversation with my friend whose D is going to Penn State too!
