[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 393917, member: 844"] I'm not sure recruiting is a function of age. (or is it inversely proportional to age?) Once upon a time, there was an engineering school in downtown Atlanta that was a joke in the world of college basketball. They hired a kid from App State iirc to come in and coach the school's basketball team.People used to laugh and make fun of the program and it was never allowed to join in all the reindeer games with all the other big, bad reindeer in the ACC. This guy must have been crazy to have taken the job! Alas, he immediately started recruiting kids that Duke and UNC and Kentucky wanted !!! This young crazy Yankee kid apparently didn't know that GT wasn't supposed to sign these kinds of kids (I don't even think the term "5 star" or "one and done" even existed then). Heck, these kids' mothers would have been an upgrade over what we were signing prior to Coach Bobby C's arrival on North Avenue. Moral of the story - it's not about age. Or experience. It's about hustle and desire and confidence and the ability to sell one's self and one's product. In fact, I think people can get worse at it (sales and/or recruiting, which, imo, are one and the same) over time...it's hard to maintain the intensity and focus. [/QUOTE]
