Everyone always talk about wins and loses on the field but I really think getting recruits to come to your school is mostly about relationships. So what do you guys think the biggest reasons recuits choose a school.

Different for each kid. Like everyone here, these kids have different priorities. Unlike most of us, they are teenagers and those priorities change daily.

Okay let's keep it real OP, recruiting is all about the bag game. Relationships are all fun and games until bags get dropped then it is about "feeding the Family" or "making a business decision"

What do you mean soon, most recruits already have what is called in recruiting "influencers" whether that is mom, coach, dad, local street agent, un-cle (wink wink), 7 on 7 coach, etc.

***** and cash!
 
It depends on the kid.

For the right kinds of kids, and most of them, it's always: (1) relationship an comfort with the coaches and (future/current) teammates, (2) the football program and the ability to win, if not immediately, (3) playing time, and (4) the academic/post-football aspects.

Being "close to home" is a factor, but not as much as people would think. Proximity helps the program build no. 1 above, though, so it's a bit of a self supporting factor.

For the wrong kinds of kids, Bags are always no. 1, with ability to get out of school and do the draft as soon possible no. 1 (a).

Pretty simple.

For most kids Academics is further down the list. If anything, I separate the post football part.

Money talk, BS walk.......now if the bags are even it comes down to all that other stuff like women, relationships, best chance to win a ship ETC....I've had 2 cousins that were both consensus 3 star recruits. Colleges tried to bribe them, I can only imagine the life of a 5 star guy.

This is pretty accurate. Idk how miami does it but I know Saban has at least 1 **** girl for every recruit to "show them around." My friend was a recruit to bama in 08 and the stories he told me man. Girls waiting there lined up to show you what Tuscaloosa is all about.
