Find the basketball/baseball kids who aren't playing football. Let them be your targets.

I personally think the MS age kids is where you can really recruit the most kids.

Those 15-16 year olds walking the halls who aren't playing anything? More times than not (don't take this the wrong way), but to hell with them. Most likely they don't have what it takes anyway. Be it commitment level and/or they just aren't worth a crap to begin with. Obviously, as with all things, there are exceptions to the rule.

So, instead of recruiting the halls just for the sake of numbers looking good, go spend time at baseball/basketball practice and games.

I heard a good coach one time say this when it comes to getting kids out:

"Asking a 16 year old with a truck, some money in his pocket and a good looking girl to come out here and give up that and his summers? Boys. We are fighting a losing battle." Hilarious. Sad, but true.

I agree with this so much!
