There's a difference between a kid cancelling a visit because he is ready to commit and putting on the full-court press to force a kid to cancel a visit.
Again, let's not fall for the false equivalency game.
Agude visited THREE schools, Oregon, Washington, and Miami. Tennessee was also in consideration, and that is the visit he cancelled. I have seen no evidence, statements, or even rumors that Agude's cancellation of the visit to Tennessee was due to UM putting pressure on him. So the kid had 4 visits set up and he made three. That is not the same as Mims having TWO back-to-back visits set up, and then widespread reporing that University 1 pressured him to cancel the visit to University 2.
What I am saying is very simple. A. Not all cancellations are equal, and not all cancellations should be cited as evidence that "everybody does it, man". B. Until someone with actual knowledge (and they know who they are) says that Mario is pressuring all of these recruits to cancel visits, I'm not buying that false equivalency. Does Mario WANT every recruit to take all five visits every single time? No. But I have seen no allegations that Mario pressures kids to cancel visits based on a fear of comparison. Do we want faster decisions, when possible? Yes.
In our short and limited sample size, though, Mario has slowed kids down from committing and he displays a propensity of only wanting commitments that are solid, not ones that are extracted from high-pressure sales tactics and underhanded maneuvering.
Sure, in a perfect world, every Miami recruit would take exactly 1 visit and commit to us immediately. But I'm not going to equate Agude cancelling his 4th visit...to what is happening with F$U and Mims.
Not gonna do it. Because those things are not equal.
