Recruiting inside the Southern Conference
Programs in the same conference recruit against each other for the same kinds of players, so a conference is a useful unit for building a target list: if one Southern Conference coach shows interest, its peer programs are often a realistic fit too. Members are spread across 5 states, which shapes travel and where coaches scout. Coaches in one conference tend to attend the same regional showcases and ID camps, which means a strong performance at one event can reach several of these staffs at once. 14 of the 14 programs listed here have a head coach on record in our data.
