The Southeast Missourian has an article highlighting the Semo coaching search.
Rick Ray is quoted as saying the following:
That first year there at Purdue, I got my brains beat in on the recruiting trail. I wasn't familiar with it. I was familiar with mid-major recruiting. I was fortunate to be around such strong recruiting guys. Cuonzo Martin is now the head coach at Tennessee, and Paul Lusk is now the head coach at Missouri State. Those guys were already kind of entrenched in there and kind of taught me how to do it, and I learned my way."
Can anyone explain that to me? If you are an established recruiter, how is the switch to D-1 recruiting different? Contacts? handlers? The idea of entitlement?
This seems relevant given the discussions regarding Fuller, Fulford, Tate, and KA.
I also thought it was interesting that the discussion about TJ Cleveland didn't have a quote from him. A few days ago, a poster on this board asked "does he even speak?"
