Butch Davis yesterday revealed his main recruiting secret

[canecat]

Coaches would be well-served to listen to Butch on this subject. I know it's hard when boosters are so caught up with class rankings. But Butch was the best of all time when it came to evaluating kids. Listen to the master.

To that point Butch worked with a famous sports psychologist to create a phychological profile of high school players that would be ultra competitive. All to help them indentify what traits to look for.
You have to give it to Butch in that regard.

Yes. While Butch left a TON to be desired as an on field coach no one can argue with his recruiting .

Hate to tell you but Butch actually did 2 things
- Told kids they could play early and they did
- Showed Kids his Super Bowl rings and said, I will get you to the League
