Yes, the basic principle behind recruiting hasn't changed....hence it still being called recruiting.

However, the process has changed dramatically over the last 30 years. It's not very hard to see.

That comment was meant towards the person who said "A 5th grader could recruit at Florida."

Just b/c you're in warm weather doesn't guarantee recruiting success.

Perhaps you should check out her camel toe.

You're in Florida at a big time school. It's not exactly rocket science.
