Message: [QUOTE="laxsummit, post: 2754873, member: 4802"] Agree. I'm sure our older staff is just as frustrated as we are. Norms have changed and certain adjustments to dialogue must be had for best retention of recruits and even current players. Better to be discerning and through about sincerity and blunt about expectations in talks than revert to overstocking which brings it's own set of problems.. Fault here lies primarily with the stupid culture of early recruiting. Recent changes to recruiting rules will shorten timeframes and older kids will hopefully be more certain with decisions but prevailing culture still reeks as sport grows. Many families will still search for best situations with the proverbial bird in hand with young vultures willing to poach. Know the client, know the competition, gauge the 'commitment'. [/QUOTE]
