re: if we end up with CAranda, we need recruiters bad

I've read on this site that Alabama has a $1 million budget dedicated to recruiting where LSU has about $300,000 to the same cause. It seems much of that goes to a much larger support staff that is analyzing potential recruits and reaching out to top players earlier and keeping in touch more often. I would anticipate mastery of Twitter monitoring and use of other social media resources can be effectively used to provide the perception that the key recruiters / coaches and the head coach seem "present" ("Real-time" accessible) on nearly on a non-stop basis.

How many times have we read that a recruit was really given a push by Alabama and continually contacted by them. This doesn't happen by the coaches alone. There has got to be much happening behind the scenes for such a well oiled recruiting engine to keep humming along. Does this potentially add to staff directly under Austin Thomas that has a dotted line in reporting to Dameyune Craig?

I'm thinking this approach is worthy of further exploration towards being part of the team's budget.
