Love how recruiting works these days. Guy "commits", guy then goes on visits all over the country to other schools, guy feels like he needs more love from the school he is currently committed to, guy holds staff hes committed to hostage until he rlly decides where he wants to go. Not picking on Donaldson alone here because its pretty much every South FL kid that does this. When you're a high 4 star talent like Donaldson why commit that early if you know you are going to be taking a ton of visits and you know **** well your not fully committed??? I get it if your a 3 star who gets an offer from a big school and you need to hold your spot in the class. But I will never understand why 4/5 star guys commit to a school, but then go on a million unoffical visits but still expect your current committed school to kiss your ***.
And for those that will say it is a once in a lifetime experience for the recruits, let them enjoy, I fully agree with that sentiment. But then don't COMMIT to a school. If you want to fully enjoy your process then act like Mcfarland. Name leaders, take all your visits, then once you have had your fun choose which schools fits you best.
And unfortunately, this type of mentality is exceptionally true of So Fla recruits. I've been around top So Cal recruits, top rated Mississippi and Lousiana recruits...and if they commit to a school, very slim chance of flipping them. The only time you see kids from those areas decommit is when that school's coaching staff basically cools on them or a scandal jeopardize their playing abilities. That's why I said, in another thread, that the chance of getting Carr from USC is going to be dang near impossible.
So Fla recruiting is a totally different beast, man; I've never seen anything like it. Even though we're the "home team" and they're in our back yard, I always feel like the underdog in recruiting our own kids.
I just never seen kids not wanting to be the man in their own back yard. Like who wouldn't want to walk around their own city and be looked at like a G??! I remember when USC won the title in 05, and all those So Cal kids were getting celebrated for months. When I talked w/ Darnell Bing, that was the thing he said...he was like "cuh, you see this??! Ninja (the other version), this is y u come to SC, to be the man in your town."
Meanwhile in So Fla, they just wanna be catered to by any broad on the block no matter how stank the cooch is. I get wanting the exposure, and seeing different things, but just acting wishy washy to the home school, I don't know man...just don't get it.
