One big difference between the previous coaching staff and this one is the way they are tight lipped about recruiting. I the past we were getting "we got better today" and "great day for FAU football". These guys are all business. I like that.Posted On: Jan 29th 2017, 7:33 PM #366388
I agree 100%. Once you start advertising everyone you are going after, you bring attention that you may not want (see Howard). I think we will see some surprises on signing day.
It's not about the recruiting Fan-hype for these guys, it's about getting players they want to get. I love it.

Well recruiting is a complicated matter the way the signing is currently setup.
A lot of large programs (UF, FSU, Miami) etc offer more kids than they can take and then timing of commitment comes into play.
I think we are in play for a lot of the kids that get left behind, which a lot of times again it's timing of commitment as opposed to actual ability. We need to be in the mix on these type kids and be in thier ear should things not work out at the school they have as #1.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.
