Recruiting Analyst Has Power
An article in the recent edition of The Chronicle of Higher Education caught our eye.

Theweekly newspaper lists the "10 most powerful people in college sports," and one of those 10 is recruiting analyst Tom Lemming.

I've never met or talked to Lemming, but I respect his work immensely. After all, he's been at it for more than 30 years, and his opinions and expertise has been featured in many national publications, including USA Today.

In the piece written by Brad Wolverton, Eric Hoover and Libby Sander, Lemming is credited for "spawning an entire industry."

"His conclusions helps shape athletes' destinies, influence coaches' recruiting strategies and raise fans' interest, for better or worse, in their favorite programs."

Some of the other choices in the article are weak (Maryland's athletic director? C'mon), but picking Lemming was spot on.
