I absolutely believe so. They want to make a big show and sweep the top guys at the All Star games IMO.
I would be shocked if that were the case. Let's just say that LSU is doing that this year for argument's sake.....and LSU has about the lowest # of verbals than any major school right now (half of Tennessee's cast of thousands for example). Why didn't LSU do it last year? How about the year before? IMO, it is clear it is based on 2 factors: 1) all star games already discussed but NOT instigated by the coaches but by the allstar games themselves and the kids wanting the exposure 2) having so many high profile LA recruits with so many options
I DO think that some have given LSU coaches "silent/double secret" commitments
because LSU would be recruiting certain positions a lot harder if they didn't feel about 100% on certain players. You can tell how programs feel about certain guys...how much are they recruiting in the belief they will lose that person?This post was edited on 11/25/13 at 10:50 am

No, I am NOT saying that LSU won't get a lot of commits during the games...what I am saying is I would be shocked if the LSU coaches had anything to do with the delay. Once again, 1) ESPN/NBC/recruiting services associated with the games 2) recruits wanting nationwide exposure

There are also players who are holding off coaches from publicly committing. They want to do it on TV. In some cases you are right though, get the buzz going...

The only reason the games were created was to sell the recruiting buzz. The game is held up for the announcements because thats what people tune it to see.
No one really gives a shite who wins the game.

Post of the recruiting season! Exactly right....the players on the field are actually the sidelight. How many times does the action off the field/announcements actually hold up the game (commercials being the exception) like happens here. That is why I don't normally watch the games unless multiple LSU recruits are involved in the announcement. Even then, I simply DVR the game and SKIP the football to get to the relevant announcements.
