When the coach who recruited them goes somewhere else, why aren't all these kids just following that coach?

Is it because there isn't a scholarship ready available?

Is that the true issue?

For TN, I don't see that a problem right now. For CDT, why can't his players he recruited to USM commit already?

But for the kids who committed to Martin, I'd be pretty ticked off. Especially since he recruited 1 player, commits to TN/Martin, and then Martin was able to take him to Cal instead of the others.

It's likes a roommate/moving situation gone bad. Imagine you and 3 other people agree to get a 4 bedroom apt. Everyone knows about the place because of 1 friend. The mutual friend has sweet connects to management so he is allowed month to month, but you and 1 other guy already sign the lease one week early. The other guy will be getting there later. But during the move-in date, your mutual friend decides to bolt to a 3 bedroom apt, and will be living with some stranger and that 1 other guy you were suppose to live with. Your friend basically ditches you.

I agree, you take a better player that is currently available or interested but if you are great recruiter or someone who has a good eye to evaluate talent, you wouldn't have to worry about finding a better prospect.

In the music biz, you can upstream or downstream any artist. Right now, CDT could upstream his "artists" from an indie label to a major.

Interesting and familiar analogy, but I'm not sure it's exactly the same. Not every indie artist is suited for a major roster just like not every kid from a lower-tier school is suited for power conference ball.

I understand completely that you should always go after the best who is available and interested. But there was a REASON why CDT recruited those kids in the first place. Yes, sometimes you look at the real expectations.

If you worked at an indie and you are going after an artist who is being courted by a major, the artist will go after the best deal. Either way the artist goes, you know that you had been looking at a solid prospect. If you seal the deal, it's most likley it's based on relationship and trust.

Then if you go only after artists that major labels don't or never wanted, than you are most likely finding sup-par talent or "hidden gems" and you trust yourself to develop these artists to have them reach their maximum potential. The goal is always to move upward.

TN seems to have more scholly spots than we thought previously. The clock is ticking with CDT. Good recruiters would have already had a bunch of back up plans.

I think I'm getting real impatient and just trying to figure out whats up. In the music biz, there really isn't a time table to consistently sign artists, but you are always actively seeking. In basketball there is a timeframe.
