Apparently Kirby spent the day landing all over Middle GA's high school practice fields. Even attending the high school basketball game here tonight to watch a junior, along with Muschamp. Do we even try to compete with this? Just asking because surely with all of our recruiting disadvantages we wouldn't be getting out worked right? Where's the white and gold helicopter?
 
we bought Johnson one of these to visit recruits in

Kirby flew his helicopter onto my podunk towns baseball field for local kid. It was literally front page news for weeks.
 
I'd think "what a goober" if I saw Kirby getting out of a helicopter. Damn, that stupid helicopter thing has been going on at least a decade now. Didn't Kiffen have the helicopter circle the football field a few times before landing at the baseball field right next to the stadium while the football game was playing? Douche move.

I know some will be impressed by it, but I hope someone has instilled into the kids a sense of needing an education to get them through the rest of their lives, not a "gee whiz, Kirbs flies in a helicopter!!! I'm committed!!!!"

Clearly you overestimate these recruits. They get static easily. To them, having someone take the time to fly a helicopter out just to see them is a big deal - not that most of us wouldn't have felt the same way at that age.
 
Did Saban start the helicopter thing? I know he showed up at Kennesaw Mountain High School last year in his copter. I'm not even sure why, because KMHS rarely has big time recruits.

Most of us would probably still feel the same way if some CEO choppered in to personally interview us for a job. Even if it came with a little douchey overtone.
 
Not only the flying in part, but this guy attended the kids basketball game and it appears took photos with everyone in the county. "Outworked " is what it is. Say what you want, but these kids and hell it sad to say, but most of the adults are in awe of this type of stuff.

Can't we just teleport or something. We are Georgia Tech - I thought "we could do that."

Helicoptering into a high school is pretty much like a redneck who just won the lottery and wants everybody to know it.

I wonder if the new recruiting fund raiser has an Iron Man suit in the budget for PJ?

Paul seems like a no frills guy. That definitely hurts in recruiting. Iiwii
 
Wouldn't it show more dedication to sit in traffic 2 hours to see a kid's game?

He's flying in for 2 reasons;
1) For the reaction
2) So he can make it to another kid's game/practice as soon as he departs.
