Also the guy who does our recruiting profiles is fricking brilliant - former NFL guy and his job is to search out matches, those with even the slightest connection to UT, and find underrated guys who are fits etc. has been brilliant so far. I'm sure there are others too.



I feel like I'm going to be embarrassed not to know who you're talking about, but who is your recruiting profiler?

Bob Welton. He was a talent scout in the NFL for 9 years. So you shouldn't feel bad about not knowing him. Those guys are rarely known.

Here, he's Director of Player Personnel and those guys scout players, help with recruitment strategy, often help with player support, and so on. They're expected to know compliance (teh rulz) like the back of their hands. Welton has been brilliant at finding players with connections to either UT or CBJ -- even small ones -- as well as finding guys like John Kelly (a 3* from an overlooked corner of MI who has outplayed our quittin' arse 5*.)
