I don't know a lot about how recruiting territories are determined, but that list really looks disjointed and makes for a lot more miles travelled than necessary. I worked in an industry where we had territorial responsibility for sales and service and if anyone had proposed such a split as that, he would have been laughed out of the house. Of course, we didn't have private jets to whisk our folks to wherever they needed to be! There must be a lot more money in CFB than in the business world, LOL.

I know Dade and Broward counties in Florida are football proving grounds, but I'm sorry, I just don't understand why the staff has placed this much emphasis on this area. According to Proud's post, Gran has 2 counties, and that's it. Seems to me the Bham and Atl regions would be of equal importance due to large talent pools.

From what I understand about the area, the concentration of D-1 prospects in Dade and Broward county is totally off the chart. We usually have at least one signee from that area every year. Supposedly, that area will send more kids to D-1 every year than the whole state of Alabama. It must be true since Coach Gran has only those two counties.

I think he does have some other responsibilities. Wasn't he responsible for recruiting Ben Tate?

Yeah - there is something ridiculous like 3.5-4 million people in those two counties.

Purely hypothetical on my part, since I actually know nothing about how this works, but I'd conjecture that if a person had particlularly good connections or relations in an area, it would be wise for him to retain responsibility for that area even if also active in other, disjointed territories. Again, just speculating...
