Won't argue with you on details, as the extra context does make a difference, but I'm not sure if Liggins didn't do some of the same to Ole Miss.

My point is that Les essentially condoned the actions that recruits take to act on their best interest and applauded the balls it took to do that.

On a very basic level, most of the bad recruiting misses like LC, TJ & JM fit that same mold. Whether or not they were holding a seat for their own notoriety plays into ultimate perceptions, but Les is condoning hometown talent acting their best interests over some sense of loyalty to institution.

I'm not sure if the backside of the moon is covered with cheese. How am I suppose to respond to whatever hypothetical one might construct?

I guess we can agree to disagree. While I fully respect (though not condone or encourage) the right of a recruit to change his or her mind, I think there should be a certain transparency about their level of commitment. With LC we knew (or at least we thought) it was between us and BAMA. With Kiel, we were his second first choice, and had made significant accommodations for him to the detriment of others. His failure to advise us prior to his date of arrival caused injury to our program which we could not have anticipated (same is true of Torshiroooooooooo). There's a difference between loyalty and integrity. My dog is loyal, but it still craps on the floor occasionally.
