Wheaton recruit? Hogwash. I can't think of anyone that the coaching staff actually initiated contact to recruit them to the school. This may change under Driggers. Most of the student athletes came there because of the academics, the campus atmosphere or because their family went there. Bobby Elder did nothing to recruit the players. He was fortunate to have an attractive academic school that did the recruiting for him.
Very true statement about Elder. He benefited from having not only an academic school but a Christian school that is known across the country. I would venture to say that all players currently at Wheaton, and over the past 7 years, contacted Wheaton first, instead of being contacted by Bobby.
From what I have heard, this is changing drastically as Lee Driggers and Kent Madsen have assumed a much more active role in recruiting.
