This is true for BR, at least from my experience with Coach Q right after he was hired. He was dragging around his two young children to organized football leagues in the area. He was attending my son’s BGYFL Downers Grove Panthers games on a weekly basis mainly to recruit QB Owen Lansu among others, and that’s when he first talked to my son about BR. Many of the other kids on my son’s DG Panthers team ended up going to Downers Grove North HS, including Lansu. Q lives in Hinsdale so it was a nice and close recruiting effort for him, but I know from other parents that he was making the rounds throughout Chicagoland to recruit his first freshmen team, which are now juniors comprising most of the Varsity team.
