For 2 years in a row, Deion did zero off-camous recruiting. (Even though he has a special budget of $200,000 for private jet use for recruiting).
He says it's all about the portal (maybe even much more so than someone who doesn't have a long term commitment with their program).
From story below:
What is Deion Sanders' recruiting strategy?
Instead of the standard practice of visiting the homes and high schools of recruits – and having those recruits visit campus, too – Sanders has used his national fame to lure in recruits to meet him on campus only. He even recently started a weekly entertainment talk show on Tubi to help reach recruits and their families another way – on their screens.
“That’s how I recruit,” Sanders said last month on a different show, hosted by Tamron Hall on ABC. “I don’t go to nobody’s school or nobody’s house. I’m not doing that. I’m too old to be going to somebody’s school, somebody’s house. All the kids that I’m recruiting, as a matter of fact, they in the (transfer) portal. They’re grown men with kids. They don’t need me to come around their crib and try to convince them to come play for me, nah.”
