[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 532462, member: 265"] 1. "I think Johnson knew recruiting was important, but didn't have the RELENTLESS JUICE that the new staff has. He knew it was important, but wasn't showing up on a recruits doorstep at midnight and only seemed to use Twitter reluctantly." And you know this how, exactly? I think Paul was plenty relentless with recruiting and used every trick he could think of to succeed. But using Twitter is a choice. If you think it is a major bother, get your assistants to use it - they did, a lot, and they were the ones the recruits had major contact with. I think Paul thought of himself as a closer, especially to convince whole families that their sons would be in good heads at Tech. There's plenty of evidence that that worked; most of his players were closely attached to him. I don't, however, think Paul was a horn blower. Unlike [I]some[/I] coaches we know. We'll see how that plays out. I'm not expecting any real results on our recruiting until next year, however. 2. Depends on the scale used by the services. Rivals uses the scale you are talking about. 247, oth, uses a 4 point decimal scale. That's the one the post I referred to was talking about. So, yes, it was (supposedly) a .01 difference and that isn't significant. I'll look into this and get back to it later. [/QUOTE]
