This is interesting, but without a rigorous random sampling methodology the results are highly suspect.
Without question, but I think it brings to light how well teams are doing in getting their message across to recruits on a small scale that probably is not drastically different then what the reality is.[/b]
I don't think there is any way to know that. And there is reason to be suspicious that it simply isn't very accurate (see the rankings of Alabama and Texas, for instance).
Perhaps that’s fair, but I personally believe this article is on to something. I think this is data that could be useful in trying to gauge how well the brand of your program is reaching recruits. It may not be the only data point you use, but I think it’s useful nonetheless.
