Can't blame a kid for not being loyal to a program that was never loyal to him or to those he cares about.
Recruiting is about relationships, NOT money, NOT rings, NOT (insert some BS), its 100% about relationships.
Richt is doing a good job of repairing those relationships on the coaching side of recruiting, we just need the players that all the youngsters look up to now.
So are you saying this is about Golden and his staff? Richt and Co. seemed to have been on this kid from the beginning and showed him the love or "relationship" making him a priority. It was noted somewhere along the line in this thread I believe, that Jerry trusts only about 5 people and Dugans is one of them. To me that is 100% relationship.
Recruits, current players and former player stepped up to build a relationship. UM is known for being a family. He had ties (relationships) to the team. Something just does not seem right. Not to the fact that he is going to Bama, it was going to be a hard pull, just that it was all relationships based.
Now, if your $aying hi$ coach, or po$$ibly a handler had $take in the game, and that wa$ the relation$hip, then I under$tand.
