Wilkes-Barre Fats Spring Recruiting
State.
New York has several potentially superb prospects.
Up in the New England States there are around a dozen
players with the potential to perform on the level with
big timers.
We asked both coaches what was the chief objective in
the spring despite the no-contact rule with a prospect?
BY LEE L. RICHARDS
Spring recruiting for college football brings a lot of
coaches calling in Wyoming Valley. Tom Coughlin of
Boston College was in town recently, while last week
Maryland’s Gib Romaine and Pitt’s Andy Urbanic made
their annual spring visits. It gave me an opportunity,
_ over lunch and dinner, to exchange some information on
the recruits that I’ve added to my list for Eastern
~ Football Magazine.
According to just about all of the coaches who have
_ contributed to our list, 1983 will be another bumper crop.
Coach Romaine, who's been recruiting this area for a
dozen years, says, “From all indications the East will
have its usual strong contingent of offensive linemen.
But, more impressive is the number of quarterbacks
‘around this year. We've contacted at least a dozen or so
Classic

schools that will lineup in the fall, with a youngster
pulling the string to the offense at 6-3, 210 pounds, which
is the ideal type QB we're looking for at Maryland.”
Pitt’s Urbanic said, ‘I’ve been impressed at the
number of youngsters listed at quarterback on the
questioneers we've been receiving. I think we're all
looking for the same type of quarterback. He has to be
able to run the offense on the field, demonstrate strong
leadership qualities and have the arm to throw the
football deep. We'll all be looking at junior films of the
prospects, but no definite decision will be made until
he’s been checked and double checked in the fall.”
Pennsylvania has some top-notch linemen again this
year. New Jersey, from early indications, will not have
the huge linemen as in previous years. However, there
are some quality skilled people around the Garden
quality of judgment, the ability to determine if a
youngster is a late bloomer and can he compete on your
level?”
Romaine agreed with Urbanic, but added, ‘I’ve gotty
believe a lot of recruiting savvy comes with experience’
How well we guess on a 17 or 18-year old is going to
determine our future as a team and as coaches. With
the 30 limit, you’d better show a keen sense of judgment
or your program will slide backwards. Basically, we're
all looking for the same things. We want players wiih
exceptional ability. The ones that have it seem to jump
right out at you. I guess the smart recruiters anticipate
to what performance level each particular player can
rise. This type player makes up a big majority of your
team.”
At the conclusion of spring recruiting Phe various
staffs will meet and scrutinize each player they've seen
on film and form a priority list for their specific needs.
There are a lot of other factors weighed before the
“Our objective in the spring is to check out each
prospect that has returned a questioneer which every
football program will send to high schools in the winter
months. You'd be surprised how many names you come
across by just visiting certain high schools. In fact,
Berwick Coach George Curry gave me two leads on
prospects we’d never heard about. Another phase of our
spring recruiting is to touch bases with various coaches
that are interested in our program,” Urbanic says.
Romaine’s answer, was along the same lines as
Urbanic’s. Said Romaine, ‘“You’d be surprised how
many coaches bump into one another and will exchange
