Is it considered recruiting when your team is constantly winning 12+ wins per season and kids want to come play and be a part of something? Now if you pay the players, pay for their homes and cars I’m saying yes. But. While this happens it’s less than people want to realize.

*Structure/Discipline

*Administration that takes pride in Football and wants to win.

*Coaching fundamentals in grades 9 and below. Winning in middle school and grade school isn’t nearly as important as learning the game. How to tackle, block, gaps, holes. Fine tuning skills are what high school coaches need to work on. Not teaching basics.

* Holding players accountable as coaches. Letting kids go that don’t want to improve or better the team.

* Running the program without outside influence from parents, administrators, politics. Playing your best players. In control! Including hiring staff!

It’s safe to say, Haywood, Hilton, Smith, Holcomb, Mac, Haddix, Scroggins and a few more are legend status in recent 10-15+years. They consistently fielded teams that demanded respect. I think they did everything listed above. Maybe I am wrong.
