I think next year will be significant for Moore
I understand Moore has been in the woods year after year, but the diminished presence does make me wonder whats happened…
Anyways, my $0.02: after every season take a couple of steps back to figure out how to take a lot of steps forward the next fall. Even the biggest crews have room for improvement. Some great models of recent progress are Lechner, Neeley, Legett, and especially Dunn this year.
On the other side, I didn't see as much of, Moore, McInnis, SBK, or even fhkplex & OC this year as I have the last couple. My observations may be wrong, but on the days I went walking thru the woods their numbers didn't seem as strong as I remembered. Maybe it was just mid-season slump or their respective recruiting pools weren't great, but smaller isn't the direction any proactive crew should be heading.
I'm looking out for Appelt or Mosher to have a break out year and just surprise me but from my observations they have the same problem HHH (and a lot of other dorms) did in the first couple of years after coming back online - small number of returning crew members. I'm convinced the biggest asset to any Bonfire dorm is a large returning group living there at the beginning of the fall semester (ignoring Lechner). Work on keeping people from leaving the dorm to live off campus or elsewhere, large numbers make recruiting less intensive per capita and they do a lot to make SB seem less of a 'rebel & renegade' operation.
Plus it really bites Reslife in the ass.
