I agree that it is a well-deserved honor, but I'm a little skeptical of
just how much impact it will have on recruiting.  Some of the greatest
coaches in the history of the game (including several active coaches) 
aren't in the College Football Hall of Fame, at least not as players.  

But it certainly can't hurt!
