The best recruiter has to be the legendary Bobby Bowden. Not only because of the way he turned around FSU, but because of a certain event.
I tried to find it on the internet but I couldnt. Anyway, a recruit from Birmingham, Alabama got a visit head coach of Clemson, Tommy Bowden. So the recruit and Tommy go inside the house and start to talk a little bit. Meanwhile, Bobby Bowden pulls up to the same recruits house. He knocks on the door, and the recruit answers, and sees his son Tommy inside. Bobby then tells him "go home son, your mothers waiting for you at home with your dinner." Now is that not the best recruiting story ever?
The recruit ended up going to FSU. This is completely based on a true story told by Bobby Bowden. Article was in the Miami Herald.
