This is a 5 part series on the recruitment of DE Rasco. This has been posted here before but its a good reminder of the different styles the coaches use to recruit and the pressure on these kids. Kind of funny looking at Petrino emphasizing character When you see Momma Rasco tell her thank-you

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

If big Sam goes pro, he will start next year and do very very well

I saw a little of disdain on Momma Rasco's face when Mack Brown was talking to them. I think he came across as too "corporate".

I hope Momma Rasco's health is improving.

That was really awesome. Thanks.

Behind the scenes with all the coaches was pretty incredible.

Nice redux - loved watching this the first time around.

Fantastic production quality from whatever sports department or newsroom that put this together.

Rasco is the reason why I'm not panicked about Big Sam leaving. This kid will be unreal.

Thanks - I think I have some residual PTSD over Rasco's recruitment and you re-traumatized me.

However, it was a great look at the recruiting process - except for Petrino (obviously banking on recruits and their families not really being plugged in to what kind of guy he is), the various personalities are about what I imagined - obviously as an LSU fan I'm familiar with Saban, Muschamp and Fischer - Mack was a little bit creepy with the "going around Texas" - while that's not unexpected, that probably works better on a kid from Austin, Dallas or Houston, rather than Shreveport.

ETA: As we always say on here - Miles wins over the mom, and that's half the battle right there.
