Campbell has started picking up offers(ULM, then us) and will probably get a few more before he signs.

5'10" 175 lb. STRONG safety? He'll either need to grow or play free safety. If he can run fast and hit, he'll be a keeper.long green wrote:http://www.nola.com/recruiting/index.ss ... ll_is.html

Nice mention of Tulane throughout. My personal favorite as a Shaw alum is my friend's nephew Cameron Jackel. He is interested in Tulane so I hope we are on him.

Great to see that the first commitment is from the New Orleans area.

In one of his Signing Day media appearances Fritz said that rather than have one or two assistants concentrating on the metro area he would assign a certain # of area schools to every one of his nine assistant coaches. I thought that was interesting.

Re: 2017 Tulane Football Recruiting Info & Discussion
I like it. When Assistant #1 knows that he is personally responsible for say 10 schools, he has a tangible job description. He sets up a call plan and visits every one of those 10 schools for introductions and periodic revisits. Very quickly he comes up with a list of say 50 prospects from those 10 schools and then starts peeling the onion on specific skills, compatibility with Tulane's athletic, leadership and academic demands and winnows from there. From there, assistants 1-9 start comparing notes and ranking their prospects with an eye towards making informed offers early. Seems obvious when you think about it, but I bet quite a lot of recruiting is more ad hoc. This puts discipline into the process.long green wrote:In one of his Signing Day media appearances Fritz said that rather than have one or two assistants concentrating on the metro area he would assign a certain # of area schools to every one of his nine assistant coaches.

Re: 2017 Tulane Football Recruiting Info & Discussion
I like splitting it for NOLA. First, you can get more coverage by assigned roles. A lot of NOLA wasn't covered under the prior system. Second, that requires every assistant to travel to another area...that's a fairer approach and could preclude some hard intra-staff feelings if certain assistants don't have to travel to recruit. Third, NOLA is a weird duck and reduces the chances (or effect) of "Friendly" offers to keep a certain HS coach, or neighbor happy.
I also took a look at the TU Coaches clinic flyer. Very nice coverage of coaches from throughout the state.

This is huge. Fritz tweeted that Tulane is hosting a coaching clinic April 8-9. Coaches from Lutcher, Warren Easton, Scotlandville, John Ehret, Parkview, Rummel, Kinder, and Evangel Christian are headlining.
Folks, that's how you build connections. None of this, "what can I do for you please send me recruits that can't go to LSU, I'll do whatever it takes." It's, "let me do you a favor, get your name out there. look what I can do for you. Don't want to owe me a favor? Fine someone else will."
Tulane has facilities and a bully pulpit. About time we used it.

Re: 2017 Tulane Football Recruiting Info & Discussion
The previous staff used the hell out of Yulman last spring practice, bringing in tons of prospects every Saturday. This staff will do the same thing, only better and smarter.enviro5609 wrote:https://twitter.com/coachwefritz/status ... 9194594304

Speaking of smarter...
There's the banner for the coaching clinic. Note that the only names are the featured HS coaches. No Willie Fritz, they are the headliners. That is smart.

Re: 2017 Tulane Football Recruiting Info & Discussion
I also liked the call-out for the walkons: Mandatory 7:30 AM meeting on Tuesday. Putting in the discipline early in the process.
Re: 2017 Tulane Football Recruiting Info & Discussion
Sure, in the sense that you can go deeper in a narrow pool. Just think of how focused we could be if we only recruited NO? But if I'm assigned to recruit, say, Atlanta (note: tangible job description), I'm going to do essentially some version of what you say. Visit schools, talk to coaches, list prospects, etc. If I'm also responsible for x schools in New Orleans, then that is taking away from my recruiting in Atlanta. There's only a finite amount of time I can spend recruiting. I don't think one way is necessarily better than another. Wonder if Fritz is using this as a way of introducing the staff to area coaches, see who develops a rapport and then changes assignments down the road?TUPF wrote:It's much more specific.

Re: 2017 Tulane Football Recruiting Info & Discussion
I don't think we disagree. Maybe it will be easier to take the small bite approach (10-20 schools in a given area, by name) at least to start with the side benefit of doing what you say--getting your staff known locally--and tweaking it later.ml wave wrote:Sure, in the sense that you can go deeper in a narrow pool.

I just know that in my line of business it is much more manageable to have a specific target, by name, than to say--go sell to this city or this country. New Orleans is small so you can blanket the area pretty quickly and move on. If I am given Atlanta, say, where do I start would be the question. High profile recruits would have attracted attention already from multiple suitors both from local colleges and from elsewhere. There are hundreds of high schools so making an effort manageable would be the problem, not finding the gems. Anyway, I could be all wrong but not knowing what the previous staff did, I like what we hear WF is doing.

Re: 2017 Tulane Football Recruiting Info & Discussion
Tulane is having its Junior Day this weekend. One good local prospect, big OL/DL Mikhail Hill of West Jeff, said this week he'd here. Earlier this week we had unofficial visits from Rummel LB Shahid Reece, Rummel DB Jakobi Jones, and De La Salle LB David Gregg.

Re: 2017 Tulane Football Recruiting Info & Discussion
credit to Andrew Lopez of nola.com who put together a list of the nola.com top 50 LA players expected at Tulane this weekend.
They are: DB Amik Robertson of Thibodaux, LB Josh Clarke of Riverdale HS, DB Jeremiah West of St. Aug, DB's JaCorion Andrews & Corey Straughter of Neville HS, DL Dennis Collins of West Monroe, WR Jeremy Singleton of Bro. Martin, QB Justice McCoy of St Aug and WR Takulve Williams also of St. Aug.
Almost all of those would be real scores Robertson has crazy good film. Other in-state guys visiting that I think sound really interesting are DL Troy James of Madison Prep in Baton Rouge, DE Chris Turner of Hammond, and DL Caleb Sampson of Northshore Christian. That's only a few of many. One guy I was not aware of before today was QB/ATH Devion Warren of Ouachita HS in Monroe. Yes, please.
There are also a bunch of out of state guys in. One of those expected is RB Jaelen Greene of Sandy Creek HS in Georgia, the same HS as new DB Will Harper. He has offers from us, Cincy and ECU and several others.
Thanks again to Andrew Lopez for doing that.
