Every recruiting staff needs an excellent human lie detector.

Do you know somebody that can always tell when someone is lying?
I have a friend that can.
She tells me that she reads posture, facial expressions, eye movement, voice inflection, length and tenor of answers to questions, etc.
She’s never wrong.
After reading that both Smith and Walker lied directly to CJP, I wonder if our staff needs someone like my friend.
Not a coaching staff member, of course.
But, maybe someone that the Psych Department or other place on campus could provide.
When we get a supposed “solid” commitment from a 5 Star or high 4 star that we REALLY want, this person would be used to sniff out any possible deception.

You could make up any number of reasons/job titles as to who this person is when they meet the recruit and why he/she is involved in recruiting.
But, just give the lie detector enuf time to watch the recruit and see what they think of them to the final answer to this question from CJP, “So, is your commitment to Tennessee 100 per cent solid and will you be sending us your LOI on signing day?”.

The lie detector can then tell CJP how confident they are that the recruit is or is not telling the truth.
Worth a shot?

:dunno: not sure what I just read

Maybe retry school? Doesn’t appear that it helped much the first go around.

OP it would work if the recruit didn’t know about it, but I imagine it would make a lot of them very tight lipped which would impede relationship building I would think.

Of course.
Would have to be a made up title.
They would only be around our recruits that have already verbally committed. But ones we know that they have recently or will soon visit other schools or have heard they are still considering other schools.
Smith and Walker were prime examples of two that played us.

I know that this idea is way outside the box.
But, wth, I hate being lied to on signing day.

A man's word doesn't mean what it used to. Today, we draw up papers for agreements because we all know a word doesn't mean anything. Integrity is a lesson very few learn nowadays.

Your friend is lying to you.

OP, does your friend ever watch political races? If so, the poor girl probably has some sort of stimulus overload leading to mental breakdown.

Found her. Solves race/gender equality questions and the problem of potential non-truth telling. You’re welcome.

She can’t do it on tv.
Only in person.
She told me she has helped a police detective before.
Sitting behind a two way mirror, she observed a suspect being interrogated.
She knew after five minutes that he was lying.
She has also seen those that she believed were truthful.
She said you just have to know what to look for and hear.
