Recruiting coaches play numbers game with jerseys.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Marissa Silvera
When trying to lure a blue-chip football recruit, some coaches will play a numbers game.
If a high school player's jersey number is important to the player, coaches will find ways to make that number available.
Apparently no number is off-limits, not even a retired number.
Carol City, Fla. linebacker Willie Williams mentioned in his weekly recruiting diary for The Miami Herald that when he took his recruiting visit to Florida State three weeks ago, his No. 17 was on a Florida State jersey with his name on the back.
" `Isn't that number retired for Heisman winner Charlie Ward?' " Williams said he remarked. "Coach Bobby Bowden was like, `For you Willie, we'll bring it back.' "
Whether or not that promise factors in to a recruit's decision to choose one college over another depends on the individual.
