Deion Sanders' recruiting strategy influences other college coaches

Deion Sanders, head coach at Colorado, has shifted college football recruiting by avoiding in-person visits to recruits' homes or schools. This strategy has gained traction, with other coaches like Indiana's Curt Cignetti and Michigan's Kyle Whittingham adopting similar approaches. They emphasize recruiting on campus during big weekends instead. Critics argue this method limits relationships with local high schools, but supporters suggest it aligns better with current trends in college football, including recruiting via the transfer portal.
