In the past, I've recruited a lot of different places, but as of late, I've recruited South Florida, Tampa, and over the past 20 years, I've recruited pretty much the whole state of Florida. I've recruited Alabama, South Georgia, Detroit, Chicago, and St. Louis. I did a really good job in St. Louis when I was at Illinois, especially our first two years. This is going to sound arrogant, but I'm a plug-and-play guy. You can plug me in anywhere you want and I'm going to always be able to attract kids because it's all about people. Whether or not you know the coach, I'll find out how to get an in. I have a decent personality so I can get in, and I have a good message, which is true. I'm honest with kids and truthful about where they stand and where I see them at. Whether it's Chicago or Florida, you have to be able to resonate and talk to these young men and really get their attention. I can do a great job with that.
