Most Important Factor for Recruits....

The thread jack in Memphis' LF thread got me thinking. What do you guys feel is the most important factor for present day recruits?
-Football Facilities (with the arms race that is CFB, almost all major programs have amazing FB facilities. I feel like the all are pretty equal now......except the Death Star that Oregon is building)
-School Facilities (campus appeal)
-Familiarity/Trust of the Head Coach
-Familiarity/Trust of the Primary Recruiter
-Comfort with the current players
-Friendliness with other commits
-School has a good program in their intended major
-Program exposure (TV deals, etc. Not as important now a days because even the MACtion is on national TV every week)
-Amount of alumni in the NFL
-Chance at playing time
-Chance to compete for MNC
-College town atmosphere (where the partys at?)
I have personally know 8 kids who have signed with a BCS level school in the past 7 years and I must say that all picked their school based on a few factors I listed. I would have to single out though their Familiarity/Trust of the HC and Primary Recruiter as the most important factor shared by them all. I think LSU hits on most of these factors, but Les and his staffs relationships are what drive the ship.
What say you RB?

I would add:
- Geography (there is a very strong pull for kids to attend their in-state school)
- Legacy (Programs have a tendency to offer legacy kids if they are marginally talented. Some legacy kids also have a desire to follow their dad/mom/uncle/etc)

For every recruit besides the top few just feeling wanted is usually the number 1 factor

Every recruit is different.
Some want to go to a school that is an NFL pipeline.
Some want a school with an academic center.
Some have friends and feel familiar with the players/coaches.
Some just want to stay close to home.

For me, I would see which school's General Studies Major met my needs.
For the most highly recruited, I think the quickest path to the NFL.
For the majority, the relationship to the Coaching Staff.

Every player has his own reason they pick a school. Don't you play NCAA?

Playing time has to be way up there.
