A jillion football players come out of high schoo each year. A school tracks then and recruits some and gets some. And it used to be that other than scouting your opponents, it probably didn't go farther than that.
But nowadays, any of the 99+% of players that DON'T sign with your school MAY still be available for your school someday. It seems like a football staff would have to track every player in the country every year.
Every day we here about new guys from other schools that entered the portal. If you decide on that day to start learning about the guy and seeing if you want him at your school, you're way behind. So you have to always track everybody. Or so it seems to me.
