You read that article and you realize that recruiting is just a massive crapshoot.

Some kids/recruits would've fallen in love with the Bama way. Others would've been incredibly impressed by the information/history approach taken by Oklahoma. A bunch could've even decided that proximity wasn't as important after Brown put on his song and dance and still others would've felt that Mizzou was too low-key in this thing.

Though everyone would've decided that Kansas was a disorganized shithole.

It appears the lesson to be learned it - just do what you do. You're going to lose some kids and their families because of it (Durron Neal), but you're going to gain others. Don't try to fit your style to your recruits.

I think it shows that being genuine to yourself is probably the way to go. In the end, you just don't know what is going to get these kids on campus.
