If Dabo is not upfront in telling his verbal commits that this is how he handles this situation, then that is really poor taste on his part. However, if he is letting them know that this could/will happen if they visit other schools, then the onus is on the player.

Dabo makes it clear to every recruit that wants to commit what he expects from a commitment.  The kid knew what was liable to happen, and only had to look back a little over a year ago to Marlin Lane to know that Dabo is serious about it.

Recruiting is out of control. It’s cut throat, ruthless and that’s the good part of it. The underbelly of it now with 15 minute news cycles and Joe Blow websites with their made up sources feeding young 16-18 year old kids vison of stardom has made it basically unbearable to even follow anymore. And the scary thing is the NCAA can’t regulate it because it’s big business now.

If you’re a young prospect, and get an offer, you need to accept it and quit following the dragon of stardom. Some never catch it, at least most of the highly rated kids. But dang if those that do catch it are everywhere online feeding the beast.

Sad…....

I am all in on this post!
