As a grown man, would it be appropriate for me to get Scotty Doesn't Know as my ringtone?

Only if you can get skinhead Matt Damon gif to appear on the screen when the calls come in.

Bottom line: Tags was never in it for the long-haul here. Burn too many coaches and they will steer kids away from you. Build the relationships and they may recommend diamond-in the rough kind of guys that boost your program. If you don't have a long range plan, you do what Tags did, sell the players, build the team as fast as possible, and cash in.

The long-range plan is to have a quality relationship with these coaches who can tell you that "recruit x" is getting looks from the big-boys, but, his mom is sick and he could possibly be swayed to stay home. Or, "I don't know what "so-and-so" is doing over there, but, he has the most athletically gifted guy I have ever seen playing center. Kid likely won't get many looks at that position, but, he may be something for you". Or... Coach, we run the triple-option and I have built my team to do that, but, I have a kid (think Calvin Johnson/GaTech) that can flat out play receiver. Unfortunately, he's not getting any hype because we only throw the ball 4 times per game.

As a recruiter, you can't see the every day stuff. The HS coaches can. You need to have that open line of communication, especially as a G5 program, in order to get some under-the-radar steals. Alabama can have all of the 5-stars they want. I would be perfectly happy loaded up with a bunch of George Selvie-ish 2-stars.

100% agreement

I know for a fact this happened/happens........There may even be some guilty parties that have spoken out against how CWT recruited.....

True. But there are some coaches that have been supporters of the program and whose players have gone to USF. I would have put Garcia in that category. 

In any event, I agree that it may be more a style issue with Garcia.

Sounds like one butthurt person. Willie made a number of friends in the HS head coach ranks in SW Florida. I was envious of his ability to make it happen quickly, and be  effective. He probably did not go out of his way to make friends everywhere, but where it counted, he did. Smart man. You can't please everyone.

Its not.  Read the whole thread.  That's what makes this intriguing.

Several coaches of different teams have agreed via twitter, and/or have liked the tweets involving this story.
