Offensive Recruiting

[greenie]

I know we're focusing mostly on defense for these last spots...maybe entirely on defense...but I have a question about recruiting offensive players.  It seems to me that Jim Chaney is not that active in recruiting.   I'm certainly not an insider, so this observation is based solely on what I read from RD, Mike Irwin, and other reliable sources of information, and could be totally wrong.  I've seen lots of reports regarding Barry Lunney, Joel Thomas, and Michael Smith visiting players, but very little for Chaney. 

So how active is Chaney in recruiting?

He is mainly involved in recruiting QBs.

I think he runs the day to day when BB is on the road too. Shannon is out recruiting, somebody has to watch the barn

He is only the lead on QBs. He is a secondary recruiter on other offensive players. He has meet extensively with KJ, Gragg, O'Grady, Pettway and Storey explaining how they will be used in the offense when the visited during the summer.

He was at KJ Hill's house today with Barry, CBB and Smith

Same with Robb Smith. It Fairly typical of Coordinators to be secondary recruiter only.

He was an excellent recruiter back in the day when he was a recruiting coordinator at Purdue.

Ok.  Maybe it's just how things worked out this year, but all those kids are in-state.  I don't remember hearing about him traveling too much.  Most likely an unfair evaluation since we've been mostly chasing defense, and on the offensive side of the ball, we've been after oline and Pittman mostly handles that.
