Reply to "PG Profile - Schools Interested In"

To follow up an a response I made earlier.

I reached out to two of my personal friends - one the HC of a top 20 P-5, the other the RC/PC of a mid-major.

Both answers were similar: they recruit based upon their eyes and to some extent video (like the video on PG). Neither places any weight on PG rankings (doesn't mean they  wont trumpet the rankings when introducing their new recruiting classes,  however). They learn about potential recruits from events they attend and through extensive networks each has built (and continue to build).

Once a potential recruit has been personally seen and evaluated, each uses the PG (and similar groups) biography stuff for further "secondary" research - BUT neither give any weight to school preferences. (Interestingly, one said he had personal knowledge of coaches that DO pay attention to PG rankings.)

Each has the confidence that their respective schools can be sold to recruits. 

The info is obviously anecdotal, and different coaches at different levels and budgets have differing approaches. This was just FYI.
