Re: Growing a team

It's too late for this year, but next year,,,

Our best ever recruiting tool has been our t-shirt cannon. Get something like that working, bring it to the football (or other high attendance) games, and be sure to get a bit of recognition for it. It has also become something of a tradition on our team for each year's team to do a serious rebuild, just because they can. From any technical standpoint, it's pretty much useless, but the rebuild gives each year new "ownership" of the air cannon, which helps them talk it up to their fellow students, which helps bring in more students.
