Not that the recruiting by Grant and his staff was not excellent. But what impressed me the most by Dwayne's signing with UD is that he did so first without waiting for a formal visit to OSU or VT or any of the other big schools looking for him.

He did so even after Archie had backed off. What it tells me is that it was not just the coaching staff which sold Dwayne into coming to UD but it was UD itself which helped sell Dwayne. Dwayne had apparently kept his interest in UD and did not have a bad feeling for UD but in fact was very receptive when the new coaching staff entered the picture. A University might get an edge when recruiting local talent ie Staten etc or Meechum to Illinois regardless of who the coach is but to get the non-local kid to choose the University without looking further is impressive for the School.
