Apples and oranges.

When you are originally given the offer of employment, you are given a set date to decide by.  We have zero idea if that occurred with some of these offers.  But, we do know some players wanted to commit and were told there was no room at the inn (which would seem to insinuate they didn't know they were B level recruits or under a deadline).

Your example would be applicable if the employer submitted an offer to you about employment, you thought about it for a few days and came back and said you accept.  They regret to inform you that they have since hired someone else for the position (which also does happen in the real world sadly).

Again, this isn't a bad thing and happens all over recruiting in every sport.  I am just trying to point out that recruiting is not ethical.  It won't be under this staff and it won't be under the next one.  And recruiting is not set-up to be ethical given secondary options, flips, etc.

And I want to be perfectly clear, I am only referring to the recruiting process.  I believe kids are taken care of at Syracuse and Shafer does actually work to build character amongst the team and puts wins and losses second (Funderburke would be my example of this).
