I never put faith in guys recruiting other recruits. After watching Shepard try his damnedest in 09 I realized the effort is wasted. To use that as a reason is plain idiotic. They might have sparked his interest, but a guy wanting to play with so and so isn't a big reason to choose where to spend the next 3-4 years of your life.

Pretty much, but it depends on who is doing the selling. In this case, other recruits that are ultra-charismatic (Treadwell and RN) talked him into giving us a look - we just needed a chance.
Other recruits can't make the final decision for a guy, but other recruits can pique interest.
Our problem in the past was just getting elite guys to even step foot on our campus, not an issue this year. Obviously what we have to offer is appealing.

Well I don't know what to say to you then.
That is exactly what is going on for us. If you refuse to see that or be convinced of it, then there's literally nothing I can say to change your mind.

Who are you to say this? What makes you think you know what these players want? What makes you think you're somehow a good evaluator of what is best for them?

Not sure I'd rely on that being your best way to flip guys, but big name recruits do have an influence!
