I think the first recruiting buzz I remember is when Harvey Williams was a "lock" for A&M and then chose LSU (1986)... Pissing everyone off in Texas with his choice and the way he did it...
After that I caught the bug... Back then you had to follow recruiting through the radio w/the experts on talk radio and the few publications that came out regularly... The internet wasn't an option quite yet.

I don't follow recruiting, and it didn't "impact" me personally, but Kevin Faulk has had the most impact as a single recruit perhaps in the history of LSU.
LSU was really down after Hallman, and Dinardo only had a month and a half to recruit Faulk. He signed, and LSU was immediately competitive. We made a bowl game in Faulk's freshman year for the first time following a 5-6 year drought. In the bowl game, Faulk ran all over some young, hot shot coach and his Michigan St squad. I believe the talent on the field and the passion in the stands at the Independence Bowl that night made an impression on the little man walking the Michigan St sidelines.
Kevin Faulk made it cool for the top in state kids to attend LSU, and we are still reaping the benefits of his decision today.

I remember the Harvey Williams ordeal. A&M got us back with Bucky Richardson though
