@BamaDawg The Fromms' interpretation, "we won't offer if we're afraid of being told no to", just doesn't only make Schottenheimer (and Richt) not aggressive enough, it makes them look completely incompetent. I just have trouble believing they were THAT bad of recruiters. I imagine the Fromms were just frustrated because here's Jake, a borderline 5* recruit, and he can't get an offer from the school he really wants to go to, that I think his Mom and Dad went to as athletes (or something like that)...
I'm not trying to say Richt has the right approach to recruiting. I just can't imagine he's as terrible as he seemed to the Fromms. I just think the Fromms were frustrated with him. And so there interpretation of him...
What would be **** interesting is to ask Richt directly! Where's BA? We need a post-season interview with Richt! Oh wait, BA talks trash about Richt. Where's Seth?
@levander ... I don't think CMR was a bad recruiter, I just don't think he was a great one. As for schottenhiemer, lets not forget that he came from the pros (Rams I think). It had been a while since he had to recruit anyone.
We all know that impressions are everything in recruiting. I dont know what the Fromm's impression was, but asking that question seems to make it look like they either didnt want to offer or were actually afraid he would say no. It's easier to say "well we never really offered him", than it is to get turned down. It like not asking the cheerleader to the prom for fear of rejection. Let's also not forget that reports were out there that Pruitt and Schottenhiemer didn't get along. I wonder if recruiting methods was one if the reasons.
