We have a school offering every recruit's best friend a scholarship, a mentor/coach/advisor in Miami pushing a stud toward Whisky/FSU and people adopting football players and you all crap all over this is as impossible - Why?
So a high school "coach" tells a prized recruit it is better to be put up in a hotel for a few days to avoid the craziness of recruiting and whatever other relatively easy to believe story he could have told him, and we think there is no way a player does it?
Today, in 2012, reading these boards daily -- we think this could not happen?
exactly. its not a matter of holding or physically restraining a kid but rather telling a kid he should just get away from it all and sit back at a cushy hotel watching tv and getting room service for a couple days. plays to the kid's feeling of anxiety concerning all the stuff going on around him and convinces him to get away from it all. i find it completely plausible really in todays shady recruiting.
ya know colleges are actually paying people to monitor websites and social media concerning recruits which makes it highly likely that people are sitting at universities and getting paid to make up accounts and negative recruit and tweet and try to shift kids' minds away from and towards schools. it just goes to show you what lengths schools are going to get kids. and to Toke's point, i also find it not only plausible but highly likely that people are getting paid off the books and under the table for various "services" and "jobs"
