That's my point. It doesn't matter if you're a two or five star. Many coaches have taken the stance on certain recruits regardless of stature that if you're shopping me around, you just lost your offer. It happens every year from Alabama to Youngstown State. It's not this over the top stance you make it out to be.Quote:

Yeah...it looks like we are saying the same thing then. I thought you were claiming it was like high and mighty. If it were me, I'd do it in most cases. There are always exceptions. I'd pull Suttles' offer too... but again that's me. He's had plenty of time to decide and we're only a couple of weeks away from signing day. If he was a junior, I might feel differently, but probably not. And as far as the Campos' of the world, I'd be more than willing to take them in. Nothing wrong with being selfish in the recruiting wars. In the end, I have total confidence in how Rhoads draws the line in his program.
The difference is that Suttles doesn't already seem to be a risk. He also didn't take to twitter and beg for offers.Quote:

I am sure there is far more to the story then we know.
Happens all the time.Quote:

Per ESPN Insider Article:
The incredible saga that has been Brisly Estime's (Delray Beach, Fla./Atlantic Community) recruitment appears to be at an end.
Just three days out from national signing day, the three-star cornerback has made a decision that should be final.
The 5-foot-9, 180-pound cornerback confirmed to ESPN that he had committed to ACC-bound Syracuse.
Estime had previously been committed to both Purdue and Iowa State, but neither came to fruition.
North Carolina State entered the picture late and offered Estime, but just days later, revoked it. Finally, over the weekend, Estime's official visit to the Orange paid off and he officially joined the 2013 class.
Estime was given a Scout Grade of 71 by ESPN.
Syracuse loves players that don't qualify.
See Fab Melo
So the rumor goes he wouldn't have qualified here, but got into Syracuse? a pretty decent school academicallyQuote:

He would be the 1st to accept a scholarship, then not get in. Some need summer work to get qualified. Some coaches will work to get it done others will move on.
That is a lot of schools he went thru in a short period of time.
He can commit to anywhere, doesnt mean he has the grades.Quote:
