Following the guiding light on the recruiting trail

Surviving — and mastering — the recruiting process means adhering to some simple principles and staying focused on finding the right fit, right place, right situation

By Jonathan SigalSeptember 1, 2017

When it comes to the recruiting process, it’s all about finding the right place, the right situation, the right fit.

They’re a trio of principles that Jack Kniffin (Darien, Conn.), a sophomore attack at Brown University, held true to heart as he jumped on the college search bandwagon while attending Darien High School. Kniffin just wrapped up his first season in the Ivy League, one in which he totaled 33 points, but took time to reflect upon on how he ended up in Rhode Island’s capital city.

Originally recruited by Lars Tiffany, now the head coach at Virginia, Kniffin was playing at the Baltimore Summer Kickoff during the summer of 2014. While there, the high school All-American quickly slid onto Tiffany’s radar screen, becoming a key target for the Bears’ fast-paced, run-and-gun style.
