Re: General FB Recruiting Question | |
I think a new coaching staff has benefits and some things that count against them.
Obviously they have the excitement and promise of a bright future and they bring in their reputations of where they were before hand. In our case, that's defense. I'm sure we'll have an easier time in the short run recruiting defensive guys and hopefully that leads to a strong foundation to build on.
On the other hand, young kids often start looking at schools far before they start looking at them and a new coach sometimes has to be in place for a couple years before they start to be seen by the better recruits that start to make decisions earlier in their high school careers.
In the end, I think we have an advantage on D but I don't know that we have an advantage or disadvantage on the O side. You could probably argue we have an advantage because of the hype and promise, but only time will tell.
Just my personal opinion.
