I wasn't saying Bellamy was the mystery guy. I was saying if he managed to be committed elsewhere and managed to make the trip publicly, then that obviously destroys the generalization that recruits need to hide their visits. Why is that so hard to comprehend?
You said you don't tell your current employer that you are job hunting, and neither should recruits. My point was that Bellamy didn't hide it, did he? Why does Bellamy not have to hide his visit?
As far as the schools taking away offers for looking around, that is an interesting viewpoint. It is solid and makes sense. How many times has it happened to a 5* highly recruited athlete?
Once? Twice? How many times?
If it is so common as to be highly probable, I will absolutely bend over backwards to admit how wrong I was in my assumption. If, however, his school has a policy in place that prevents visiting other schools, then yea, I can see the offer being taken back. For rules violations, and rules violations alone.
If his school did have such a policy, and he broke that policy, well, that leads me back to a point I've already made.
Pick and choose whichever of those comments you wish to address, but the only one I really care about is how often 5* recruits have offers withdrawn for visiting other schools.
I can admit when I am out of line. If it is common, without breaking team rules, then I will admit I was out of line.
To go even further, all someone has to do is PM me the name I'll write him a personal letter with my apology; prior to him going public with it, of course. *shifty eyes*
