SIAP, but John Brice of VQ got the awesome privilege to hang out with Butch and everybody else in the War Room. He documented and detailed everything.
Brice said while the coaches were eager to get the faxes in, the true main focus was the 2015 and 2016 kids. Brice said, while he was in the War Room for those 5-6 hours, the coaches were able to talk to over 250 '15 and '16 prospects.
Azzanni told him that when Malone committed, he had his position nailed down so from there on out he has been recruiting next year's class every day for essentially 3-4 months now.
I know Thig gets a lot of the recruiting credit (and rightfully so), but I think Elder and Azzanni have done a GREAT job as well. Elder is on the Memphis kids and is responsible for TEs and STs. We signed a top 5 kicker, #1 LS, #2 TE, and Ethan Wolf.
I think Gillespie is really starting to prove himself as well. Getting Hurd, Paulk, and Scott is no fluke. I thought Jay Graham was pretty detailed in his coaching. Well Gillespie is on a different level and that's what it takes at this level.
"You get what you put in".... I think that phrase will depict the efforts of our coaches on the recruiting trail with the results of our upcoming classes. I will admit, I was VERY skeptical of this staff when they were first hired.
I truly believe not one other coaching staff in the world will out-work our staff in anything.
Just my thoughts, post signing day
