Times change and the old way doesn’t work any more, except when it does.  Every industry benefits from modern advances, new tools, more efficient work, more focused work, etc…

A lot of the new is tweaking the old.  Pitchers still pitch the way Sandy Koufax did.  They may be stronger, better conditioned, and have tweaked and advanced some pitches but the motion and most of what they do is the same.  You have to go really far back to see a significantly different basketball jump shot.  Current sharp shooters may be better, because they started earlier with more concentrated work and training, but the basics are still the same.  Follow through, back spin, arc, swish.

Recruiting is no different.  Better tools today, more focus and concentrated ability, but it’s still about connecting and extending reach.
