…. We would never see Doc out in the community recruiting. I used to say going to high school basketball games was a great way to be seen and at the same time recruit. Well, low and behold Huff and staff show up at the Poca vs Nitro game last night. I have always said a football recruit that plays hoops is an indicator of foot quickness.
Remember when I used to say…
- Thread starter 5150
- Start date
No it’s not an indicator of foot quickness but it is an indication of a much more well rounded athlete
Correct but also When you see a 6-4 250 lineman posting up it shows foot work. Doc knows as well.
I can post someone up in basketball. Does that mean I’m ready to play college football at 40 years old?
??? I can saw through a small tree trunk. Does that mean I’m ready to enter the National tree trunk log cutting championships?
It’s proven that college coaches prefer multi sport athletes. They use different muscle groups with each sport usually.
Good for Huff!
Good for Huff!
The biggest thing here is getting out and being visible, whether you’re recruiting an athlete or not (and yes, he was clearly following up with a kid he has recruited in this instance). The truth is, we need to recruit the fan base, too. And any public appearance like this is a good thing.
Correct and Doc never did this but if you brought it up while he was here and it was all excuses by his fanboys.
You are completely correct. Huff and his staff need to get out among the locals and different games. That little bit of effort shows everyone that he is part of the community and will generate support for Marshall at the games. A little bit of hand shaking chatting with people does more for building Marshall support than all the BIG fancy TV and radio ads.
I had several interactions with Doc, mostly in a professional setting and I have to say he was a total @ss
Hell, Huff arrived in a helicopter for the first SV home game. It made an impression.
