Exactly, it is not hypocritical at all. Other schools are calling our recruits and trying to get a visit. GC has told our kids that he doesn't want their verbal until they are ready to shut down recruiting. If one of our verbals breaks the deal and goes on another visit, GC's decision on whether or not to pull the offer, which he has demonstrated he will do. I think he also had a kid last year that verballed, took another visit, but GC did not pull the scholly. Maybe they had discussed it at the time of the verbal that he had another visit scheduled and planned to take it.

It is up to WV how to respond to one of their verbals taking another visit. Maybe their coach has a different policy of allowing kids to verbal, but still look around.

If all coaches had a policy like GC, there might be less decommits since he insists on getting a kid's word that he has made his final choice. Schools that accept "half-hearted" verbals and know the kid is still looking are just setting themselves up to get burned.

Bottom line, GC has his way and others have theirs. He can't control what other schools do, only what he will do.

He looks like he has great speed and great vision. He looks like he needs a little more muscle on him, but that can be taken care of by our staff.

Re: West Virginia commit taking a visit to ISU

What you are all missing is that in the article it says that once he commited ISU stopped talking to him. It wasn't until the iowa state coaches found out that he had reopened his recruitment that we went after him again. We respected his decisions, but once he reopened recruitment, Iowa State wasn't going to sit around and not try for him.

Bingo! It's one thing to be actively recruiting a committed player with intent to "steal him away" from a program. It's another entirely if the kid publicly acknowledges he's opening his recruitment up. And I know it feels good to claim we pull offers for any player having second thoughts about his verbal but it just doesn't happen that way.
