And yet, players do it all the time. That’s why coaches put a premium on hiring position coaches who are also great recruiters.

Unlike many, I didn’t get the impression that his decision was based solely upon the relationship with the position coach. I viewed it as more of a “all other things being equal” sort of thing. He liked both schools and both head coaches about the same and the guy who he developed the close relationship with tilted the scales.

If things don’t work out in Eugene and the coaches want him, I’d have no problem taking him back. We have done it before. Heck, Duce Chestnut was here, left, and came back. I did find it weird that he publicly brought up the possibility of portalling to SU in the future on the day he was announcing going to another school. Odd thing to do. Seems like that’s the sort of thing you’d tell the Fran privately when you called to inform him of your decision and thanked him for recruiting you.
