What makes a coach a good recruiter?

[CrimsonTider]

Like what makes them better than any other coach?


For example, When Mark Gottfried was here we got every Mr. Basketball in the state and we even got Earnest Shelton who was Mr.Basketball in Tennessee.

Now he is at NC State and he is recruiting well there.

But, he is a horrible coach who's teams never play smart.

Anybody here ever been through the recruiting process?

What are they selling though, Playing time? easier path to the pros?

Calipari's pitch is "I want you, but I don't need you. I can help you accomplish your dreams and make it to the pros, but it's going to be the hardest thing you've ever done and I'm not promising anything."

He takes a "straight shooter" approach to recruiting. Some recruiters try to impress the recruits. Coach Roy Williams took 12 of his college bball rings that he has won in a case and showed them to Julius Randle after a report came out that Calipari was wearing his championship ring during an inhome visit. Julius Randle cut UNC from his list a few weeks after.

I think each coach has his own approach and angle. How does Baylor's coach get the recruits he does? He's

everything. team-wise, program wise, college wise, etc.

basically make it seem like you belong there.

great recruiters are good psychologists who can figure out what kids are looking for in a school and make it seem like they offer everything.

ofc no recruiter will help if program is shytty, just like if you sell economy cars you prolly wont get a wealthy buyer...so you have to back up your talk with something at least...but still

its all bs the coach is selling it all and pretending they care of course if they were to get injured or under preform then bye bye scholarship

Calipari is the definition of shady and bs

 

[Akata Man Bromo]

How much he is paying

 

[nomoreneveragain]

Cal's not even a good coach

It comes down to $$$ and telling them about their NBA Contacts.

St. Johns used to be able to recruit locally cause they were able to give a shytload of Cash in the form of a stipend, cause they didn't have dorms

So, he is shady and bullshyts to all of his recruits when he is recruiting them? Thats how he gets them?

I've talked to actual Calipari players. They all talk about how genuine and honest he is in the recruiting process.

He doesn't need to BS anyone at Kentucky. He has put 15 players in the NBA in the past 3 years. That speaks for itself.

thats part of his con dude is a straight up crook you will see in a year or so kentucky will get hit with sanctions just like every school he's been to has

great coaches are usually great motivators. it usually runs hand in hand with recruiting. if you can motivate a player you can have him willing to come play for you. i think Ray Lewis would be a great recruiter cuz he's a great motivator. (im also looking at this as a straight coach-player perspective excluding school prestige, $, etc ) it's all about making a kid believe.

Been hearing this for the past 3 years. I never hear shyt about Calhoun, Coach K (Cory Magette, the 100k loan for jewelry) or UNC (Making up completely fake classes for its athletes to get A's in)

It's amazing that you can turn 15 mostly impoverished men into millionaires and do insane amounts of charity work and still be viewed as a crook.

What exactly makes Coach Cal a crook? D rose not taking his SAT's? Marcus Camby taking 28 grand from sports agents? What exactly did Calipari have to do with any of these things?

If you think the NCAA isn't watching us 24/7 then the NCAA hates kentucky.

ray lewis is great in-game motivator who's passionate.
I think you need a different approach as a recruiter
