Message: [QUOTE="JoeSU, post: 689048, member: 309"] I think the Marrone/Shafer differences may just be a matter of style. A lot of programs allow the position coaches to do the majority of the "hands-on" recruiting, then the HC comes in at the end to seal the deal. I know that Paterno at Penn St. used to use this approach. I recall one recruit (Tamba Hali I think) who PSU stole from us when Paterno met the kid to shoot hoops. It's sort of like the approach car dealerships use - the negotiations, test drive etc. take place with the salesman, then at a critical point the manager enters the scene to get you to commit to buying.
