Message: [QUOTE="Rocco, post: 527040, member: 51"] I am not saying that the old staff wasn't good at recruiting because Adkins & Wheatley had very good connections, but I think that this new staff is primed up. They are younger and have key recruiting areas to attack. A huge difference between the two staffs are the core recruiting regions. I'd like to see us continue to mine the NYC area for 3-4 kids/year to help grow our in-state fan base and keep the good talent home. But you have to grab kids from the football hotbeds. We got a few of those kids this year and I think we will continue to see the percentage of kids from key areas increase with this staff. The biggest question will be whether or not they can close the deal come NSD... [/QUOTE]
