If I remember right, I just heard Seth Greenberg on the ESPNU college basketball podcast talking about a recruiting strategy he had as a coach, where he intentionally recruited many guys he knew he wouldn't be able to land in order to have an in with them in case they were seeking to transfer from the program they actually went to later on.
That might actually be a good strategy for more teams in the Valley. I also think more teams need to heavily hit the JUCO circuit if they can get away with it academically.
Keep in mind that modeling your coaching methods off a failed coach might not be the best idea.
