You need to get your facts straight.  First of all, all three kids did in fact commit--so this had zero to do with 3 disgruntled kids who were upset because they weren't allowed to commit.  Two of them were securely in the fold as SIGNED LOI members of our program until injuries / illnesses derailed them.  At the very least, the coaching staff owes it to them as COMMITTED members of the family to give them straight answers. 
 
Secondly, telling a HS coach you're "iffy" about bringing him in might "express reservation" [your words], but it isn't a straight answer.  I'm not interested in splitting hairs over what was allegedly said versus not said, because none of us participated in those conversations--we can only go by what we've heard.  And also because I trust Money's info / sources / insight, so I'm willing to let it drop.  But I do find it comical that you criticize me for taking the information available as gospel, while you hypocritically point to an unsubstantiated player quote from the same interview ["iffy"] as "proof" backing your argument up.
 
And one more thing--having three stories like this is definitely a pattern.  The vast majority of the hundreds of kids we recruit don't commit to our coaching staff and program.  For the ones that do, I expect them to be treated respectfully--especially when one of the kids is coming off of cancer treatment [and another is trying to bounce back from a bad injury].  So when I see multiple stories like this come up in less than one year [dating back to Lindor last fall], it raises eyebrows.  Now, as some have pointed out, it doesn't mean that the coaches are guilty of doing things the wrong way, but it is definitely odd that they keep getting accused of this.
