Who is our recruiting coordinator?

[JJHog]

Does Alex Wood have the experience to handle the job as a R.C. in the SEC?

[fusbal11]

 Chris Vaughn is currently the recruiting coordinator.

Considering what Wood has done in the short period of time he's been here, he is obviously capable of handling the responsibilities of recruiting coordinator.

CV was responsible for signing more players than any other coach this year--FWIW

Since he is not a position coach anymore Vaughn is a logical choice to handle the job with help from Ealy.
They're not gonna pay those guys a full time salary just to attend a few coaching clinics and make sure visiting recruits have a good time.

Vaughn can handle this job.  And it is a good move for us to have a full time recruiting coordinator who isn't distracted by on the field coaching duties. 

Bacon out...

"Vaughn will move from safeties coach and recruiting coordinator to director of on-campus recruiting"

[hogwildinhouston]

It all depends on how you are defining RC.  Only 9 assistants can have contact with recruits off-campus.  If all the position coaches recruit, then all Vaughn can do is basically "organize" recruiting.  He can't personally recruit the players.  He can develop the list of target players, assign coaches to recruit them, organize recruiting weekends, etc.  He can't however actually "recruit" the player.  Now, someone else may know if this is true, but they could I think designate a position coach as "non-recruiting" and him not have contact off campus with recruits (Campbell maybe) and allow Vaughn to serve in that role.  I'm not sure on that.   I do know that 9 is the limit to actually recruit players.

We have nothing to worry about regarding only 9 coaches having contact with recruits off campus.  Most in the know understand that Markuson and Shiebest couldn't recruit a fat kid to a pizza buffet.

Thats a good one pseudo, I liked that. On a side note I did hear CV today on DTS and he talks like he knows what he is doing as far as recruiting goes. It will be interesting to see if our recruiting is any better with a full time RC.

Vaughn is awful.

And he sorta reminds me of Tatoo from Fantsy Island..............

Here are the official NCAA rules :
