Too bad that the wise comments by the author of the link cannot be required reading for blue-chip recruits and their families. It's almost comical to read about what a really big deal that host schools place on football games, knowing that the Cox family was treated to a beating of Texas U. by host ND.
On an earlier thread I quoted about recruiting from Geno's book. He described this process as both the "worst" and "most important" part of his HC job. He insisted that "There is no bull$hit" about how he does it. Diana (in the Foreword) backed him up by stating that "Everywhere else they kiss your ass!" - but not Geno.
His approach seems to work.
