I always find it curious when an assistant from UK, UNC, or Duke lands a job and the main reason given is his ability to recruit.
At those schools, it's not terribly hard. Sure, not everyone can close the deal, but still.
The best recruiters at this level are the ones that can identify and land the hidden gems. Brian Roberts, Chris Johnson, Scoochie type of guys vs. thinking we're going to start landing 4 and 5 star guys on a regular basis. (Some day hopefully, but we're not there yet.)
One of our biggest problems is that the guys we've identified early lately seem to blow up shortly thereafter. Maybe I'm paranoid, but it almost feels like both AG and Archie's staff had such a good reputation for this that it attracted the attention of assistants at other schools.
