Sampson's recruiting summary article is up on The Athletic

One thing in particular stood out to me and it's this passage:

"Polian pushed back on the notion that Kelly isn't active enough in recruiting, calling it an "unfair" characterization that the head coach is not engaged. In fact, Polian said it's on the coaching staff to ask more of Kelly in the process, not less. That seemed to expain why Kelly had not connected with Tyson Ford before his commitment last month: It was not that Kelly had declined to step in, it's that the staff hasn't asked for it."

How many other programs we're chasing in the top 5 in recruiting do it that way?
