At first I agreed with your sentiment.  But the more I think about it, what I think he is trying to say is that schools generally recruit regionally (Except for Stanford and Notre Dame).  In order to keep those regional relationships, they have to give the recruits that come from those respective regions the benefit of the doubt.  All he is saying is that Notre Dame and Stanford, dont play by those rules.  He understands that, Ishaq understands that.  They both are aware Ishaqy can get recruited over with no repercussions to Notre Dame recruiting ties.  He is conveying the same message.
 
He is basically saying to EO, if you go to Clemson, and you are neck and neck in a position battle with a south eastern recruit, that the south eastern recruit will get the benefit of the doubt.  He is right.
 
I recall USCe losing a 5 or 4 star recruit to transfer this past winter.  When a reporter asked Spurrier about it, he said something along the lines of [I]I dont even know the kids name.  This is South Carolina.  We get 4 or 5 star recruits all the time.  If he wasnt good enough to see the field, he wasnt important enough for me to know his name.  [/I]The quote may not have been so brash, but that was the spirit of what he said.
 
Thats all that Mr Williams is trying to convey to these kids.  Listen, I got no hard feelings against Mr Williams, if I have a kid, and he has a chance to play football at Notre Dame, and wants to, why would i try to persuade him not to?
