The only issue I have with this line of thinking for players is, who are the coaches at big time programs who quit recruiting a player because he is committed to a different school? Urban Meyer will FedEx a kid a paper shredder after he's signed his LOI to go elsewhere, but is suddenly going to respect the "sanctity" of a verbal commit?

Its a good point but this stuff does happen all the time. If you can get just one extra coach to make a trip to your school to maybe benefit a couple of other guys, I guess it would be worth it. Some guys like Urban will always recruit but some schools might not have the resources or time to make a trip to see a family commit like McDermott.

Because coaches only have so much time. if they think they have a shot then they will stop by, but like with KC if he communicates with them that he is shutting it down, coaches will be less inclined to stop by.

We have been on Sony since he was in 8th grade, that work will pay off. I realize we have had coaching changes since, but this is the place for him, forget UGA.

Cane and Cane. This Shapiro thing is ending. That was the only stopping Golden from killing it on the recruiting trail. Don't forget how this man closed after signing day with top players that weren't even mentioned here. Be afraid SEC. Be very afraid.

I see it having greater potential for us, especially with the Miami kids. A win would confirm what some of them are hoping, that Miami is back. Also, the natural buzz that will follow after beating a rival (especially in such a bandwagon city) would help with recruiting. A close loss to the Gators still shows these kids that Miami is right there, and that Golden is headed in the right direction. For the Gators, i don't think the effect is as strong as a win for us.

In general I'm a Golden guy, but Sony will be a big indicator to me as to the ability of this staff to keep our backyard kids home.
Last year w the sanctions and all, I understand how other schools could negative recruit and how kids could leave. At this point, we should be keeping guys like Sony, who we've been on for years, right at home where they should be.
Really hope we land him, for a lot of reasons.

McDermott knows his choice now. No one in the family knows, or at least says they do

cowboy,
if that whole scenario played out, we wouldn't have to start all over again. c'mon. if he shuts it down after committing, then, other schools will have stopped recruiting. i'm talking about a kid who tells everyone he is done. like duke. i don't think duke was being recruited too hard the last several months of his recruitment. maybe some letters. but, if a kid says he done, most probably back off out of respect and tell the kid to let them know if things change.
if all that plays out, sony knows UM well enough and if he wanted to get back in with UM, he'd know how.

The only problem with that is you are removing the "show me some love" attitude these kids all have. Duke is a major exception, and after the past year, until proven otherwise, I will assume that the logic you applied (which is good logic in my opinion) won't hold.

Some back off but others smell blood. The good staffs continue to try and recruit a kid until its signing day. The calls might slow down but they dont stop. They call every week to check in stop by and visit when they are "in the area". As long as the prospect is picking up the phone they continue to recruit. You never know what can happen to change a kids mind.
