(in regards to challenges and loyalty) When he was recruited, it was support groups saying this is where you are going -- today it has changed to you are not going there
 
I think perception of program and university plays a major factor (and to an extent it always has) in todays recruiting -- now it seems more like it is not the kids making the decision, it is their peers and support group pushing them towards certain schools rather than where they may truely want to go.  They may want to go to school A, and really like A - but their coach and friends do not see what is so hot with school A and try to coerce the recruit to school B (which the recruit likes - just not as much as school A).
 
I think that is one of the reasons we saw so much flipping this recruiting cycle nation wide.  Kids are being guided towards one school vs another based on their support groups opinions and desires vs what may actually be in the kids best interest.  Instead of supporting the recruit with their decision, they kind of throw doubt into the kids mind - and I think HCDM admitted that was his biggest challenge this year in his presser.
 
The man looked exhausted.
