Message: [QUOTE="LeMoyneCuse, post: 5053012, member: 158"] This is a truism, but the key to getting the best players you can (and those who fit your scheme) is recruiting well. But what you're talking about, the Babers cast-a-net approach vs. the Brown relationships approach, are just that - approaches. And thus far, it seems Brown and Co are doing their approach better than Babers ever could. Marrone hammered the Tri-State area like Brown is and got the team to 7-5. Pasqualoni never stopped hammering the Northeast and the program withered under him for a multitude of reasons. So those are cases of the 6 hour radius approach not working all that well. Again, it's not where the players are from. You can build hype anywhere. You can have relationships anywhere. And you find and take the best players you can. No coach is going to limit himself.
