re: If YOU were a recruit.

A lot of times the decisive factor is an intangible X factor: simply where you feel comfortable. And that stems from the relationship/communication you as a recruit develop with the coaching staff; not necessarily how impressive their coaching resumes are but how they interact with you. This is the decisive factor for a lot of recruits.

For some recruits, its about the image. For others, its about early playing time. For others, its about the offensive or defensive scheme. For others, its about location; getting far away or staying close to home. For others, its about being able to play for that school you have always liked for whatever reason since you were a kid.
