I'm at the age where lots of my friends/teammates/frat brothers have kids that are being recruited. There was a great deal of excitement around the House settlement in the past few months, but now most of them are just confused. This means that folks (even those who are formally educated), are becoming more reliant on intermediaries to help decipher what promises are realizable in this landscape. I'm trying to find the right words to say that this year, there is even more of an opportunity for schools or go betweens to overpromise. The positive is that some of that will come out in the wash prior to "signing day", or whatever will be in its place this year. Sucks as a fan of recruiting, but there will be plenty of decommits this year as people figure this stuff out. We were talking about this at a track meet last weekend, and it was like fifth graders trying to explain the federal reserve.
