[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 256984, member: 2426"] I was responding directly to this "[B]They competed on relationship[/B] [B]- who are the prospects most likely to identify with us? Hugely effective.[/B]" I was pointing out that the coaches do base recruiting on relationships instead of quantity, as a direct point to your direct statement. The coaching staff, at least CPJ, is brutally honest with recruits and he expects brutal honesty back from the recruits. CPJ has said at times they give up on a recruit who says he is still interested in GT because his actions indicate that he is not. From everything I have seen and heard, CPJ bases interactions with recruits on honesty and integrity. I don't know how much more of a "Trusted Advisor" type role the football staff can enact.
