Heard it from people who’ve been a part of the program

Are you talking about scouting or in-home visits?

If you are talking about scouting prospects, likely your coordinators and position coaches are in a better position to identify and assess what they are looking for.

If you are talking about "closing the deal" with a legal in-home visit with parents and player, then that is usually considered essential for for the HC to sell the program with the most sought after recruits.

There are pics of Wilder and recruits all over twitter.

This. Right here. It's how most schools do it. A recruit probably wouldn't meet an HC until a school is ready to offer them or already has made a scholarship offer. If you think about the number of kids a program recruits, how realistic is it that the HC goes to see every one of those kids before an offer is made?

that's BS your region scout make all school and practice visits same as 99% of schools. Head coach will visit usually right before signing day with 2 or 3 other coaches. u guys get a lot of misinformation.

Football is much different than basketball in this regard. You might offer 75 scholarships in a given year.......

Yeah. That seems suspect to me. I wouldnt expect the HC to show up early on unless its someone very highly sought after that we have a chance at. Now, once the assistants have identified the player as a high priority and built a relationship with the player, its time to get the HC involved. Its also interesting the the OP only has 3 posts. Theres a lot to be unhappy about with the program at the moment, but I don't think this is one of them.

From what i heard and saw, assistants and position coaches review tape and visit kids at games to make offers with the consent of BW, Bobby only visits the homes of recruits that his assistants feel his visit will either ice or solidify his commitment to ODU but other than that scouting and recruiting is done by position coaches themselves according to the areas assigned to them. Its not that he doesn't set his foot out for recruiting but the fact that he and his minions are poor judges of finding and acquiring talent and developing the skill sets of the players to fit their schemes.

What does the 64 mean? F is the sixth letter of the alphabet. D is the fourth letter of the alphabet. FD is short for fire department.. as in what you need during distress. The program is distressed. Stress free is what we may be in 64 days when they name a new coach.....

Pull the thread, Monarchs.

FD more obviously stands for **** Duke, meaning this is a clear sign of a strategic alliance with UNC.
