Coach B: This week I wanted to discuss our big picture recruiting strategy in the shifting recruiting landscape. The biggest complaints about recruiting during Lake’s tenure was that we weren’t able to keep the best local talent home. We always recruited the top local guys, but there was a perception that the old staff didn’t give local under the radar guys the same shot as California or Texas guys. That strategy largely worked, but it left a bad taste in the mouth of a lot of HS coaches’ mouth and may have hurt our chances with the blue chip recruits.
