[QUOTE="BCJacket, post: 510349, member: 2332"] Personally, in my opinion. I think you're both right. We need both a wider net and a narrower net. I think we need to start with a [I]very [/I]wide net. I think we have to start with a very wide nation-wide and international net. But narrow it down quickly to a select pool and recruit those candidates heavily. Vespidae is right that recruits are geographically concentrated. But those areas are also heavily saturated with competition. We don't want to focus on those areas and find ourselves in a situation where we're always in the right place, but Clemson, Bama and uGa were already there. (Wide Net) We need a good number of assistants to call HS coaches in Texas, Louisiana, California, Chicago, Seattle, heck Australia... And ask about kids who have talent: "How are they academically? Smart? Hard worker? Value education? Willing to leave home? Interested in coming to the South? If the answers aren't straight "yes", cross them off the list. (HS coaches are going to talk up their kids, so we have to be savvier than that in reality.) We also need to have our network of coaches in Georgia and the Southeast. (Narrow Net) Once we identify a manageable pool of kids that have the athletic ability and academic ability we recruit the ever loving **** out of them. [/QUOTE]
