Commit to the school. Not a coach. Coach is never guaranteed to be there the 3 years the player is required to be. I know a relationship with a coach is a key factor in getting a player to a school but if a kid can't see himself at the school without the coach there, its probably not the right fit to begin with.

Let's say you are a safety and you llike two schools. Both have good teams constantly competing for championships and good academics. Both very close to home. You can't really decide between the 2 bc you like them both equally and you would basically have a chance of starting or getting a lot of PT your first year at either school.

One school has a DB coach who is a great recruiter and known as one of the best in CFB at getting kids ready to play and drafted in the NFL. One school is a solid defensive team but isn't known for having outstanding DBs but the DB coach seems like a cool guy.

Which school would you pick


Obviously picking a school over a coach shouldn't be the only factor, but it definitely plays a huge part in where one would choose to go

That's nice in theory but these are people we're talking about here. These kids come to play for other people that they like. They don't play for them because they represent a school. They play for them because they like them and trust them. Otherwise why would recruiters need to be charismatic?
