I was thinking today about the McFartlands recruitment and when the staff/fans should have known he wasn't going to sign with UM. The red flags should have come up when he unexpectedly didn't show for paradise camp not when he delayed his announcement close to NSD. I remember a lot of Cane fans pressing Pete about the issue but we never got an answer to why he didn't show up. So maybe he can answer that question now since he committed elsewhere.
Moreover, it got me thinking about others who didn't show up to Paradise camp. Holloman didn't show up even though I'm sure the staff tried to get him on board and he could have rode down with bff dj dallas. Henderson didn't show as I believe they had some kind of practice at his high school. Edwards I believe wasn't there as he was camping at UF.
So this should be lesson to everyone that follows the recruitment of a kid. If a kid doesn't show up to the biggest camp of the year, regardless of if he is an OOS or instate recruit, he is most likely not going to sign here.
