Sure, if an Ohio State offer comes late to an established Ohio kid then all the leg work a guy like Archie at UD, or whomever, did means nothing if that kid's heart is with the state school.

Archie was a master at getting in on kids early and making an impression and staying on them. I agree that AG has not been out of the game long and still knows many of the same AAU coaches and the fertile high schools/high school coaches he's worked with..
While I agree that building relationships is important and the longer the relationship the better. AG seems to have done ok with the two new recruits that he had no relationship with. It can be done on short notice as AG has shown, but as you say longer term relationships are a positive.
