Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 4279679, member: 591"] Thank you for saying this. I'll throw out an example - Jolette Law was an outstanding recruiter at Rutgers, when she went to Illinois as head coach it didn't suddenly mean Illinois was getting all those players who, after all, came to Rutgers ultimately to play for CVS, with a Jolette relationship part of it, of course. The recruiting assistant(s) do the nitty gritty, a lot of the talent evaluations, sift through the "interested" parties, reach out the ones they are interested in, start correspondence, etc. Ultimately, the head coach decides what sorts of players they need / want and, of course, seal the deal. With various levels of activity and various efforts to show their "interest" in the prospect. If you have particular recruiting skills (or, relationships with yet uncommitted players) this is doubtless a good thing as you start your head coaching career, but, as you say, it is no guarantee of success.
