Recruiting offers come fast to talented prep football players
Posted Jun 25, 2009

I wondered what caused the proliferation of speedy offers and evolution in recruiting. “The biggest change is the early offers,’’ said former South Brunswick coach Gordon Walters, who had 15 players in three different stops sign Division I-A scholarships. “The combines also are getting earlier.’’
