Juwan Howard is quick to acknowledge that recruiting now is different from when he was a McDonald's All-American from Chicago's South Side.

The technology, for one, is different. Howard said during a sit-down with media on Monday afternoon that high school was the last time he spent a really long time on the phone — and it was on a landline, not a cell phone.

Now, he regularly spends the same amount of time on the phone "selling our program and our vision and our culture" to recruits.
