I understand where you are coming from, but at the same time a lot of these coaches, parents, and even athletes have come to know me off the internet and in person and know I will do everything in my powers to land a kid at a school. Let's face it a lot of these coaches might just know of programs but not really do the research for a kid. I try to find out what the kid hopes to do in college and find the right fit for them academically as well as personably.

If a kids is from small town America and had a 67% winning record, I'm probably not going to contact the inner city, D1 wrestling program, but instead may look at the DIII rural Iowa program for example. It's more than just saying here's a school that wrestles, now apply, it's about finding that fit and helping people move on to a place they will call home without having to resettle a lot.
