[QUOTE="BCJacket, post: 693079, member: 2332"] Yes 100%. Also, the internet. Think about it, back in the 80's how did coaches find kids to recruit? They would hear about them through their network. High school coaches would tell them about a great kid they had - which was basically effective in the immediate area. Or the kids had to self recruit by contacting the school, going to a camp. How did coaches communicate with recruits? Had to call them at home or send a letter snail mail. If they wanted to see film on a kid someone had to literally film it or use a camcorder in the 90s and physically mail the video. Now, a coach in California can pull up 247 and see all the kids Bama thinks is worthy of an offer and watch video of them on Hudl all in in 30 seconds. Tweet at them, email, text, whatever. Geographic distance still matters, but it's not a barrier to contact and communication. [/QUOTE]
