too good? I think you are taking his quote out of context.

Its more about recruiting players that the coaching staff/school have some sort of relationship with. Any instate kid already qualifies for relationship.

What you won't see is going after kids from Florida or California that the staff have no existing relationship with.

The elite recruits its more about the relationship with the kids handlers than the player itself.

Don't know if out of context or not, but maybe I misunderstood. I took it to mean not pursuing elite recruits because we weren't landing any of them, which made sense to me when right in the same time frame as him saying that Tatum cut Mizzou out. So I took it to mean pursuing more guys like Puryear/Allen than Tatum/Porter.

I agree with you about the handlers and I assumed that is again why he meant not pursuing elite talent, because he never had to develop those relationships with the handlers.

Maybe I just misinterpreted his quote but with it seemed to make sense.
