[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 657889, member: 2426"] Did MBob approve and fund the indoor practice facility? It was completed before MBob was even on campus. The recruiting staff question has a lot more to do with time and ability to scout players. At places like Duke, the coaching staff gets involved with players after their film has been reviewed, the high school/high school coaches have been contacted, rival schools have been contacted for information on the players, etc. Until recently at GT(and even still at GT based on recruiting staff size), the coaching staff was doing the majority of that work. In addition to 80-90 hour weeks, the coaches had to do all of the preliminary video scouting, contacting high schools, getting feedback from opposing coaches ... All before they even began to talk to the players and decide a board of who they wanted to go after the most. Places like Duke can begin with lists of kids, preliminary athletic grades, preliminary academic grades, preliminary social grades. At GT, the coaches were having to generate the list of kids, identify those who they believed could succeed at GT, identify those who posed social issues. After multiple man-months of effort, then the GT staff was at the point where Duke's staff started with recruiting. Until Q2 2018, the coaches had to do all of the analysis, and then do all of the road visits. You can find information out during the road visits, but if you depend on that, you are months behind on schools with sufficient staff. The extra staff and extra money can go very far whether you believe it or not. [USER=1237]@iceeater1969[/USER] has complained that GT hasn't recruited areas of Texas very hard. If GT had had extra money and staff, then staff could analyze kids in the area and present lists for the coaching staff to use to visit those areas.
