Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell is on the lookout for recruits to help build a solid foundation for years to come with the Cyclones. What better way to connect with kids than by playing some video games with them, specifically Madden NFL. It just so happens Campbell is a self-proclaimed Madden king, and he is not afraid to rub it in to his victims.
The king of Madden still resides here at the top of Cyclone Nation! Recruits must recognize!#SoundTheSirens #EliteLiveHere

The 36-year old coach apparently has some game and some Madden skills, so any recruit looking to impress the head coach at Iowa State may want to brush up on their own Madden abilities. Of course, college coaches have to resort to playing Madden with recruits because they certainly will not be getting their hands on a copy of NCAA Football any time too soon.
It was just recently Auburn let their high school recruits visiting the cmapus play some Madden NFL on the video scoreboard in Jordan Hare Stadium. It is clear coaches want to use Madden to get in tune with their recruits. It also begs the question, just how many coaches are playing Madden in their spare time? Can we set up a tournament?
