People have short memories. Why did Dan keep those guys? He wasn't tied to a staff as a new HC, and needed recruiters who knew the area.

The problem with Dan getting going in recruiting was DAN HATES to CROOT. It wasn't because he was a Yankee. It wasn't because staff didn't "know" the high schools (everyone knows Cheese and Rockey were our guys there at the time). But, Dan set the tone for expectations, and that's what the staff followed.
