Cool... but kinda surprised this is a 'story' lol - would like if this was part of a more relevant article involving how Speedy, staff, and HU are engaging with their students and community to build connection, to leverage the success, and grow for the future - feels like this was one very small part of the larger picture - and this move-in help is definitely not a dial-mover by any means - it's a relatively minimal aspect and impact
No issue, glad to have an article than not, just seems like a missed opportunity - and I'm equally surprised that this is the limited take the Post writer (and HU) thought was valuable to take - just odd to me - journalism has become very, very weak

Not to mention, that’s his own daughter, that he’s moving in. I wish they showed more pictures with other students, and more of the team since a lot of them helped, as did other teams.

Yeah, this was pretty meh overall and a missed opportunity to showcase elements much more meaningful - again, this isn't a story or journalism, surprised this made it through as is - should've been a more thoughtful piece about Speedy's commitment, love for the U, efforts to give back to the students, to formulate new connection, to generate buzz, showcase the team doing it as well (it was just Speedy), so much more could've and should've been done with this
Anyhoo, all press is good, so I'm thankful for something - but man, when non-media experts like me are feeling flat and calling out lackluster and relatively useless / meaningless coverage, that's bad - media needs to do a lot better, esp considering a) it showed him helping his own daughter which isn't showcasing helping the student community whatsoever, and b) athletes / coaches helping students move in is literally done every yr - not new

Agreed that reading it had me thinking it must have been a slow news day, but still nice to see Speedy and the program in the papers.
