What would happen if a recruit DID put a coach/program through all that only to say thanks but no thanks? Knowing that people love their 15 minutes of Fame and one-upping others, do the schools find a way to adapt?
If the Dad did truly request audience, I don't think it is to tell Cal no. If that were the case, they do it over the phone. But, I can see them asking them to answer a few last questions, to help them make a final decision. I also can see them telling the staff that they are leaning toward OSU and do they have anything to add. Then Cal flying the staff down there to make a final presentation. Like I said earlier, I take the visit as a positive, but I also do not believe that Cal would fly the entire staff down just for a commitment. Maybe to sign a LOI, but that is a couple of weeks away. I am hopeful that we get this kid, but I am not going all in, until I hear some more. I have had my hopes dashed too many times before.
