Signing Day has produced much conversation about programs that have "good recruiters". And some assessments that the new UF staff doesn't have many (any) good recruiters.
Could someone elaborate on what makes a coach a good recruiter at a major program? What attributes, talents or skill sets do they possess?
Are they just good salesmen? Do they make others feel comfortable in their company? Are they hip with the young culture lingo? Is it just about working hard? I believe the concept in the sales field is "make the calls". Pick up the phone, knock on the door, be persistent above all else.
It would be helpful to have some idea of the things that are quantifiable as opposed to some ethereal idea that Team X has "great recruiters".
