It's no secret that Jerry Montgomery is an elite recruiter. In fact according to Jeremy Crabtree who has followed recruiting for his entire life at places such as Rivals.com and not ESPN had this to say about Montgomery on twitter.
Could make a very good argument that Jerry Montgomery is the top recruiter in the #Big12 right now. @Jake_Trotter

Well on January 8th, Montgomery took his recruiting to an entirely different level as he basically recruited an entire football team and documented it all on twitter. It required those that follow him to know their US area codes. What follows below is the tweets from Montgomery and what players they pertain to.

We are not sure who this recruit is at this time. It's a Colorado area code, but could be a recruit that moved from Colorado.

This could be any number of recruits, but the area code is from Northeast Texas. We believe it is 2016 DE McTelvin Agim __________________________________________________________________

If all the #Sooner coaches recruited as hard as @OU_CoachJerryM, then I would favor the #Sooners to win the Super Bowl

If it wasn't clear before, it should be abundantly clear why Montgomery was promoted to Co-Defensive Coordinator.
