True, which makes it kind of confusing to me that he mostly just acts like a closer in recruiting and makes his assistants do almost all of the contact. It seems like he should be talking to them more than he does and earlier in the process to build up relationships. He's obviously good at that with his players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he is involved in more of the process than you think. That's a must in today's recruiting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he's in contact earlier, but the obvious truth is that he can't be everywhere, all at once. That's what assistants are for... there needs to be a hierarchy and system of evaluation/exclusion so that CMW isn't wasting his time. But to agree on one thing, he is a damn fine closer because he does connect with most of his players on a solid level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several have commented about how they had only talked to CMW once or twice after several months of recruiting. Are the recruits just making it up?

I don't know the answer to this, but is it normal for most recruits to be overly engaged with the head coach early on? It certainly doesn't appear to be hurting us with the approach we are taking so I'm not upset by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, Woody called Malik, and asked for a private workout, almost minutes after his recruitment opened back up (no ass'ts present). To me, that's engaged, esp for your priority targets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
