Color has Nothing to do with it. It's about being REAL.
Jimbo, Saban, Satterfield, Myers, etc. Even a few coaches who have a DEEP SOUTHERN "TWANG" can get what they want & do because they are REAL.

Kids are committing to the COACH WHO RECRUITS them. Kids are NOT commiting to a school.
Kids can perceive if a coach is "fake." It's the level of "Realness" within the recruiter.

Just like when you meet someone and you can tell if they are "vibing" with you or not.
Color doesn't have Jack to do with it.
You cannot have a soft coach recruit a tough player. PERIOD
In fact, all you have to do is look at the players on the offer list of each school and it personifies their self perception of what they can get.

For example, Tutu Atwell/Miami Northwestern (the receiver from Louisville who torched us and the rest of the ACC and we'll be torturing our azz again) wanted to come to Syracuse, but we didn't even recruit him!

We list their players (Dade County) but we don't really try to get those guys. It's a carbon copy situation with Miami Central - we may list a player or two on our offer sheet...but they really don't talk to those guys.
As a matter of fact I spoke with the KEY PERSON this past weekend and several coaches over drinks who decides where half of those players go and he told me personally; "McKinley man Syracuse ain't trying to get s#it from here. They want those soft azz players."
