initial recruitment he would hear from other head coaches almost daily during the period they could communicate. Not even close to the case from BYU.
Apparently (at the time) the Urban Meyer's and Jim Harbaugh's of the world have more time than the BYU coaches do to recruit.
While I understand that you can't do that with every recruit, we didn't do it with Gentry (who should have been our #1 target that year) nor are we doing with Esera (who should be very high up on our list).
