I don't understand why coaches don't have backup plans to their backup plans. These are 17 year old kids who make decisions for a number of reasons. Even if you feel good about landing one, you still look for another because you just never know.
With Alabama this year we thought we had Adonis Thomas locked up even when he was a gator commit. Until he committed to us we still pursued Ricky Deberry and Darrell Wiiiams.
NSD announcements are the ones that really screw over coaching staffs. Those ones are almost impossible to plan for.

I mean they do. Kentucky has recruited other guys. But if you're UK and you have a shot at a guy like Harris you're likely putting as many of your resources into swaying him as you can even while recruiting your backup plan. Everybody has certain guys that are recruiting priorities.
It just has to be shitty for the staff to have heard all the way through last night that it was a last minute decision and then today he tells everyone that he knew "for weeks" that it was Alabama. I imagine Stoops and Co. wishes they knew that so they could've focused on other kids instead of wasting their time if true.
