I see not one thing good that can come of it, and as @AidiAU said above, why even go to a school you know you won't be attending? It makes zero sense when he could be visiting somewhere else and meeting others who might be his future team mates. Maybe he has already decided where he wants to go and is going to Ttown to recruit some of those 4 & 5* guys to his chosen school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quess someone could have said: He is going to to UAT to recruit for us. and He is tight with AU like all kids are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saban is arrogant enough to send recruits to AU to recruit for them and Def doesn't want JF at AU and will do whatever to make that happen.

Like Saban or not if I were a highly rated kid I'd at least go hear what he had to say. Not a great thing but isn't the end of the world. AU is still in great shape here. Real great shape.

DAG 33,852 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Why would a recruit not take every visit possible even if they had an idea where they were going ? Enjoy this experience as much as possible . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemson has that policy although I'm sure it does not completely apply for the elite prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemson has that policy although I'm sure it does not completely apply for the elite prospects. They also risk losing the elite recruits if there is a perceived notion of limitation to the recruiting process. This goes back to pushing for commitments by indirectly threatening them. Elite recruits will always get pub from schools around the nation. It would be foolish of them to not take every recruiting visit possible. AU has lost recruits in this manner and I am sure they have flipped and gained recruits as well. JF should take every visit necessary to find the right school and hope he does. If a program cannot understand why a person in his position would need to do that, then maybe they aren't the right fit for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understandable, but this is a thread about an elite recruit, No? Maybe I should've clarified in my original statement as it pertains to JF and why it doesn't make sense for people to be baffled by his actions. This scenario isn't common for "non-elite" recruits.
