I always am curious about the recruits that slip underradar and become big

Many times they'll stumble upon them while recruiting another kid at the school, or an opponent.  It happens lots of different ways.  Kids send out their own videos to schools, networking with high school coaches, seeing offers from smaller schools starting to build up.  There's no one specific way, but the coaches we have are so darn connected in football channels that they have tons of different ways of finding talent.

A lot of times, coaches are looking at game film of one recruit, and notice another on the other team or same team who may not be on the radar-yet.

So currently we have what on this Staff?

3 present and past ncaa head coaches

1 ex-nfl defensive coordinator

1 ex-nfl offensive line coach

1 badazz Louisiana crootin' WR coach

2 very good Texas crootin' RB/DB coaches

What recruit wouldn't want to pay for the Hawgs?  :razorback:

The main things have already been. However, I'd add luck. What is the difference between a Drew Morgan or a Korliss Marshall? Luck. One was a hard worker who bided his time and jumped at opportunity when presented. Korliss didn't. Coaching staff saw potential in both kids. Both were under the radar prospects. Most of those guys never pan out, some do. Largely depends on the internal character of the kid and if they want to reach their potential or not.

The best method, used by most top coaches, is, the flying under the radar recruit detector.
