So it's not a "conference" issue, it's not a Don Brown left issue (he recruited him) becasue DeLeone is still here (who would be his position coach). He had offer from Cincy so maybe Weist is familar with him though he wasn't his primary recruiter. I hope it's not a family/weather issue (tuff to overcome). They need to pull out all the stops here...
Hell - if he's as good as they think, and looking at what we have returning - this should be a non-issue. Show him the films:
"Wherever he decides to go, Schafenacker wants to contribute early. "My goal is to make the two-deep roster right away. Schafenacker described himself as having great footwork and aggressiveness. He added that he can run and pass block very well from the guard position."
