Scarbrough is what we refer to sometimes as a "spike." He is not present because he has legitimate interest in being part of your team. He is there to feign interest and hopefully have a chance to talk up another team and/or see a good game. However, you allow him to come because sometimes you have to keep an open door so you don't look like a dick to possible other potential recruits.
But you want to isolate him. So we would take him outside and show him the irrigation system for a few hours or just put him somewhere to play video games for the better part of the day.
Sounds like the staff played it similarly.
So well said. Unfortunately, most won't see it this way because they don't understand the strategy behind recruiting.

Penrod, part of being a good coach is definitely recruiting. A large part of recruiting is the school sports history, school facilities, athletic budget, proximity to talent. these items have nothing to do with who the coach is. so, put saban at boise state or iowa state without the items mentioned above and he would not be NEARLY as successful. less than 10% of universities in country have equal resoures (human and financial)to bama. having said all that, he has done about as well as you could do with those resources but without them he would be just another good coach.
