Once again. Recruits shuold be commiting to the University/campus/academics/program/city and not position coaches.

Very true...the way I feel about it is that a recruit should take their visits to make sure they are making the right decision. This ensures that the player does in fact want to play for that school...without a shadow of a doubt.

Yep! It's just like Orgeron calling our EEs and telling them not to go to class. WMG has pulled the same thing..recruited someone on our dollar, got in tight with them, and now is trying to use the position he gained on our payroll to lure the recruit somewhere else. I hope Loften stays with us, but this is the recruiting equivalent of insider trading. There should be some NCAA rules preventing such a thing unless you were dismissed from your position by the university that previously employed you. What they're doing, and have done, is dirty and unethical...but this surprises noone anymore. Let's just see if the NCAA actually does anything to its darling USC for all its violations. :angry:

Bottom line, I think people need to chill out and stop being so hypocritical when it comes to recruits shopping around. It happens to everyone...

I have no problems with recruits shopping around. None whatsoever. They're 17 and 18 and this is a huge decision in their young lives. However, as Loften himself said, Willie Mack Garza called him after he skulked out of Knoxville to set up a visit. That's not a recruit shopping around, that's a coach having developed a recruiting relationship at our expense, then using that relationship to try and take the recruit away. I believe WMG was heading to USC all along, and knew it. I think they used his situation to snag themselves some "unofficial visits" on our time.

It's ok, all of their good players will transfer out of USC when NCAA drops the hammer on them and they can't play in bowl games for 5 years.

No. Kids should stop committing if they aren't 100-percent sure. The word commit means absolutely nothing in this game anymore.

This is true. Most of these kids have no idea where they want to go to college or play ball for the next four years. Usually the teams that get the big name players are the ones who know how to tell these kids exactly what they want to hear whether it's true or not. It's almost too big of a decision for an 18 year old to make.
