Lucas: Butch Davis Has Seen Recruiting Evolution
Posted Jan 19, 2008
At some point over the next three weeks, a high school football player will sit at a table in front of a series of hats representing his college choices. He'll pluck one from the table, plop it onto his head, and another college choice will be made. That player might think he's being creative, but Butch Davis knows better. After all, he was part of the very first "hat" recruitment when he recruited linebacker Jessie Armstead for Miami in the late 1980s.
