[QUOTE="Cam, post: 663447, member: 568"] But wasn't that a driving factor for hiring CGC in the first place? In Kirby Smart's words: "He's a bowling ball of energy." Collins has a history of doing new, innovative things in recruiting to stay ahead of the curve and he puts more effort into it than anybody. There's a saying that goes, "The product of money and innovation is constant." Things like sending coaches out to meet Jamious Griffin at midnight at the end of the dead period is an innovation and effort thing, not a budget thing. Same with maintaining a strong social media presence. Or making up unique business cards that stick out to HS coaches and recruits. Or things he did in the past like writing personal hand written letters to players or making a SWAG Chalice or staying consistent to a fun brand. These are small, basically free things the coaching staff is doing in order to essentially punch above their weight class in recruiting. I think it absolutely could be better, but that should be a reason for optimism. Like, if we're going to finish with a top 30 class for only the second time in 20 years with two hands tied behind our back, what will it look like when the $8 million in ACC Network money affords us some new staffers?
