There are a lot of similarities to what both coaches recruit(ed). That is Brannen and Miller. The factors they most sought after was a winning attitude, the right frame of mind, work ethic etc.

Talent is obviously going to be the reason you show up to watch. But the mindset was a very big deal to both which is why it is probably working out so well.

With a lot of 5 star and high 4 stars you get kids with entitled attitudes so getting many of those will be difficult because a talented player with a great attitude is pretty rare and sought after.

Penny can let you know the best recruiting classes are not just talent related. I think Sampson has a better grasp on how to recruit.
