Message: [QUOTE="javadoc, post: 227879, member: 338"] I have mathematically zero knowledge about what happens behind the scenes in hardcore recruiting. Never read the book about Orgeron and his antics. That said, it has always been my impression that "great recruiters" are basically scumbag bullshit artists who lie, mislead, misrepresent, and manipulate impressionable youngsters into committing and signing. Makes me sick. I love the press to date about Marrone. Kids have gone out of their way to say how honest he is in in-home visits. Makes me think he isn't sugar-coating things, lying, etc. Combined with his public statement that "my job is to recruit players who are better than you," I believe that he is a straight shooter who would rather lose a prospect than play the "great recruiter" role. If we can find "great recruiters" who aren't despicable liars, bully. I want no part of a con game. [/QUOTE]
