Is Coach Howard recruiting a player in the Transfer Portal, interviewing them, or both?

I imagine when a head coach recruits and incoming freshman he has to sell him on the University, the style of play, how the incoming player’s game will improve and/or be utilized with the team, etc. 

When a coach is talking to someone from the transfer portal is it more of an interview with the coach asking the incoming transfer if he is willing to sacrifice scoring to concentrate on defense, be a mentor to younger teammates, willing to come off the bench in a nonstarter role?

I see the Coach having more of an interview with the transfer where he can draw on the past experience of the player and attempting to see how that player will fit with the present team.
