OT Article: SI on Joe Moglia

Don't tell E-cat:

Moglia's desire for efficiency transcends the field. In recruiting, many staffs spend hours reviewing film and debating the value of potential players. Moglia boils the process down to a simple A/B/C system. A-level prospects are guys Coastal would never want to play against. C-level prospects are guys they would love to see on the opposing sideline. Coaches aren't allowed to evaluate recruits together, nor can they know a player's star rating or list of scholarship offers. The time saved is immense: Rather than debating dozens of players for 10 minutes each, Moglia relies on two independent evaluations from his assistants. If a player receives a grade of B+ or better, then the position coach needs to sign off and the player will get recruited. "The speed with which you do this is incredible," Moglia says.
