From what perspective? The jaded school?


Obviously. The restrictions aren't in place to benefit the player.

restricting the kid to follow the coach he committed to play for, it makes no sense at all.



Does that go for players currently on the roster? Should Tony Mitchell or any other current player be able to follow Jones as well? Are you only drawing the line at incoming freshman / transfers?

It's only reasonable to me when the school is in the same conference. Outside of that, it doesn't make any sense to me.



That doesn't make sense to me. Restricting a kid to follow the previous coach is more reasonable than restricting a kid to an in-conference school. You don't want a coach to take a new job and then benefit from the work he's done while working for your university.

Which is why they're bullshite. The player can't do what the administrators and coaches can and it's not fair.

I was referencing players that never stepped foot onto campus and were recruited by the head coach. So yes, I'm "obviously" drawing that line.

Please. Restricting a kid from moving to a school you compete with because they're in the same conference is understandable. This is a reasonable restriction on a recruit.

So a coach can take a new job whenever they want and the kid is just stuck? That's your stance?
