The House of Blue

I think that quagmire is on point ,especially about building relationships .It seems to me that Joker being friends has helped in our recruiting .My theory is that Joker has picked Coach Cals brains and has tweaked his recruiting template .
IMHO, Cal recruits first by building and establishing a certain amount of trust with recruits and their parents/guardians.Trust comes through having put in the time building a relationship .The type and quality of the relationship depends on the character of the people in the relationship .When a person with high character gives their word it means something .
Joker seems to be very selective in the type of kids we offer .He can't afford to chase kids that promise (verbal) and then switch at the last minute .Nearly all recruits in most sports talk about going somewhere that they feel comfortable .Most even say it felt like a family .Family is about having a relationship with someone .
