John Blake More Than A Recruiter

Posted Aug 9, 2007

John Blake is more than just a great recruiter - even though he wouldn't give away his recruiting secret, it doesn't hurt that once he gets the guys in school, he becomes a father figure, a mentor and a friend as well as coach. "I think there is a fine line between coaching and friendship. I respect the friendship and will always be a great friend, but mainly as a leading father figure. The most important thing is that I can talk to them on any level." (Tar Heel Blue)
