How does a Head Coach handle recruiting? Do they typically cover a specific area, like the assistants do, or are they all over the place making visits to "close" specific recruits? I only ask because JL has said he would like to be a P5 HC again, so I wouldn't say he shouldn't be expected to be a recruiting ace at this stage of his career.
I think Leavitt should focus solely on Kemp. That should be his only priority this recruiting season.
Seriously?
It was hyperbole, but seriously he needs to be all over that.
Head coaches are severely limited as far as recruiting goes. That can't cover any "area" because of the restrictions in place. Specifically they are restricted to only one day for off campus contact with a PSA and may not engage in off campus recruiting, coaching clinics, visit PSA's schools, or meet with the PSA's coach off campus during the April 15 to May 31 evaluation period. Assistants have to do the bulk of the recruiting. Head coaches just evaluate and close in the home.
If I were a kid growing up in the deep south, I'd LOVE the idea of going to Colorado. Hell, West Texas was hot. But the deep south is a different kind of hot. An almost inexplicable hot for anyone who hasn't experienced it. The cool, soothing breezes of Boulder, I would think, would appeal to anyone living in the deep South.
I get the idea of Florida with his obvious connections there. KC is a little weird, so he must have something going there. Unfortunately, CU doesn't have the time to lay ground work in a place like KC. If we aren't gaining traction after this recruiting cycle I'm not sure we should keep going forward with it.
I guess we'd better stop trying to recruit Texas then. Some would say we haven't gained traction in California yet. Hell, let's just stop recruiting altogether. :wink2:
I'm sure he just like BBQ or something....
KC recruiting is not shocking when you consider the Juco opportunities.
Good point. That may be where we are heading with this since we got Laguda this year.
KC could be a place that provides a good ROI on recruiting effort. A lot more talent comes out of there than would be expected but it doesn't get a huge amount of recruiting pressure, mostly KU, KjSU, Mizzou, and some from other BIG schools.
CU has gotten some talent out of there in the past, trying to remember the name of the smallish RB who started for us for a couple years.
For kids from that area Boulder is like paradise yet closer to home than the Cali schools.
Don't think Leavitt spends huge amounts of time there but wouldn't surprise me to see us pull some solid players.
Tony Reed , Eric Kissick and for old timers, Don Popplewell all hailed from the KC/MO area. Leavitt played at Mizzou and had to have developed some ties there while at KSU. Stealing a couple from there every other year or so, certainly would merit a couple trips a year on your way to FLA.
Looked at Leavitt's last three classes at USF and he went with FL kids and a good amount of Juco's from..... KS, along with MS.
Yeah, that worked real well for us this year, didn't it?
Ok. Montana?
