Feature on recruiting by the Warriors

About how today their coaches will attend football practices and meet with the coaches and school counselors of recruits in the Bay Area, Southern California and Las Vegas, Mac said:
"Recruiting is important to us. It's the lifeblood of our program." (HA)

HA Note: "This is the first time in recent memory that the Warrior coaches were on Mainland recruiting missions during the season."

About how this is an "evaluation period", where their coaches are not allowed to have face-to-face meetings with recruits, Mac said:
"I think it's really important that we're visible, and (high school) coaches know we're recruiting." (HA)

About the players that they received verbal commitments from, Mac said:
"You have to keep recruiting them and let them know they're important to you." (HA)

HA Note: "McMackin and defensive coordinator Cal Lee were in Las Vegas yesterday. Today, they will join assistant head coach George Lumpkin and assistant coach Alex Gerke in Los Angeles. Quarterback coach Nick Rolovich is evaluating players in the Bay Area. Rolovich was raised there, and he was a player and coach at City College of San Francisco."

HA note: "The NCAA allows each team a maximum of seven coaches out to recruit at one time."

About how they will meet with the coaches and counselors of every prospect who has received a scholarship offer from the Warriors, Mac said:
"When the season's over, then we'll go into the homes." (HA)

HA Note: "McMackin said he plans to make a home visit to every prospect — both on the Mainland and locally — who has received a UH offer. Cal Lee or offensive coordinator Ron Lee will accompany McMackin, depending on which position the recruit plays."

Noting that they had 30 seniors on their 64-player travel roster, Mac said:
"We have to keep recruiting." (HA)
