..some recruiting tidbits from BC!
Even with a busy season going on Carroll and the coaching staff is putting in as much time as possible with recruiting.
“If we’re not working on a football-specific game plan, then we’re recruiting,†Carroll said.
“Our days are quite full. There’s never enough time for recruiting so you keep fighting for ways to make time.â€
Unlike the previous regime, this staff has placed an emphasis on attending high school games during the season.
It can be a grind, but the staff has been receptive to its duties of seeing kids in action.
“It’s hard, but it’s our job,†Carroll said. “Our guys love to do it and have a great attitude about it. And our current players
have been great when we’ve brought kids in on official visits they have been great helping hosting the kids. It’s a full program effort.â€
Although he’s only been at UM for 10 months, he can already pick up on the differences in recruiting at the two schools.
“It’s great not having a school (UCLA) 13 miles away from you constantly berating it,†Carroll said. “It’s good that there’s a little
separation between the schools. Miami is a Miami town. They love their home team. The last place I was at, it was split right down the middle.â€
The UM staff has made it a point of emphasis in reaching out to the high school coaches in the area to make sure they develop a relationship with them.
“The coaches have been amazing,†Carroll said. “We’ve gotten to hold some scrimmages at some local fields. We’ve gotten out to talk
to coaches because we’re not allowed to talk to kids in person until December. The coaches have been phenomenal and we’ve tried
in incorporate them as much as we can with what we do. They’ve gotten to come to a lot of games, practices, and get to be around
us a little bit. We’ve gotten a great response from what we know. That’s really the core of it all is having the coaches understand
what we’re about and what our program is about.â€
The previous staff did not believe in bringing in official visitors during the season the past two years, but Carroll said they are not
against the notion of having visitors during the season. “It will be whatever we need to do,†Carroll said.
“We like to spend more time with them meaning after the season when we don’t have the game prep, but we’ll bring kids in during the season too.
It’s whatever the situation needs.â€
