I just saw the Saban flying by helicopter comments.  There's a guy I work with that actually just got his helicopter flying license and bought his own helicopter.  While buying your own helicopter isn't the cheapest (not as expensive as you think), renting a helicopter really isn't that bad.  I believe I saw an article where he visited 3 recruits within an hour or two.  He did the exact same thing in another city on the same day.  If you're looking to get face time with as many kids as possible, it's a genius move.

 

Actually, shortly after this happened there were other coaches stealing the idea.
