So true - it’s not a McDonald’s Drive thru window - where the gratification is almost instant. Recruiting is building relationships, attending HS games/practices and summer camp. Additionally, it’s getting to know the families, AAU coaches and quite frankly “handlers” and I don’t mean that word negatively.  If you think Illinois is the only school involved that has made a concerted effort to do that that,  you don’t  know Kwami or Danny. Sure, we are limited in some areas of the recruiting toolbox due to ethics and legalities that may not restrain others - so there’s always that caveat. But, as of now, we have zero hard evidence that has been part of Kofi’s recruitment by any school.
I know people are tired of hearing it but doing the recruiting grind is important. Quite frankly, we only need to look at the abscence of it in recent years to best understand why we are where we are today -  with the exception of the brief but successful Blaze period.
