Recruiting Momentum is Like a Freight Train, and OU Has it in Spades

Momentum on the recruiting trail is a lot like a freight train: Once it starts rolling, it’s nearly impossible to stop without either the conductor’s own blessing or an immovable object that derails it.

Unlike a freight train, however, the momentum of recruiting is borne out of commitments from teenagers, fueled by peers on social media, and delivered free of charge with some hard-earned sweat equity from the coaching staff that set the sequence in motion.

Like clockwork, the cycle of success in recruiting repeats itself over and over again. If you’re doing it at an elite level, it repeats itself often.
