...He also offers the most From my perspective Sumlin's usually uses the approach that less is more, and kids will appreciate you being more low key than max exposure, max contact etc etc.
That is a true assessment and definitely how Sumlin has recruited in the past. I actually joined this board to slam Sumlin's recruiting tactics or lack thereof.
I've backed off of bashing Sumlin, because I finally saw him bring in JUCOs last year instead of leaving tons of extra roster room. This class along with the addition of Kirk Merritt has been looking pretty good too.

had a conversation with a Texas High School head coach last night who every year has D1 guys being signed. I asked him about A&M and how they recruit. His response was not what I wanted to hear but it was his opinion.
He said in his opinion Sumlin and his coaches are not respectful of the high school coaches. All the other coaches will call and make an appointment to come visit on campus, but A&M just shows up and sort of expects the coach to drop everything. He also said Sumlin doesn't come to games like the other coaches. I asked him who in his opinion was the best -and he didn't hesitate - Coach O. Said he calls ahead and set up a visit time, calls all the time and asks how he can help the high school coaches and their staff. He builds real relationships with the coaches. Sumlin just seems to act like he's above it all. One coaches opinion. I'm sure there might be others who have different opinions.
