Why does Ed Orgeron have the reputation as a great recruiter? Why wasn't Chavis seen in the same light for example?

Likability, knows what buttons to push to get kids to commit, a great salesman, makes the parents feel like the kid will be taken care of

Or just pay the parents and kid

Chavis didn't put in the effort.

Good recruiters are likable guys who can get players and players parents to trust them. They also put in the effort, obviously.

effort
persistence
likability
and a sense of trust that he will always have the kids back, he will treat the kid like a son and will always be there for him while at school.

O's reputation is he's relentless just like Saban.

Calls and checks with recruits every day. Goes to their games, talks to their parents, etc.

We lost some recruits in N. La because of one particular coach not doing this shite.

Recruits especially 18 year olds want to feel important. Ed makes them feel this way by giving them what they want: Attention.

Same thing that makes a good stripper........."Attitude"they enjoy being there . It's not work to them they enjoy the interaction with people they meet.. The special peeps gets action outside the club. Last sentence for strippers only...

pretty much, can you sell your product (LSU football) to a teenage who is thinking about his future.

Same goes with a recruiter for a college, a sales man, etc.
