I think you would have a different perspective if you had Big Ten Coaches following your players around recruiting them on your campus.......as PSU did back in 2012.Appreciate that response and totally respect your view on it. Seems like a perfectly reasonable place to draw the line.
Question for clarification: When you say “trying to recruit players off said team,” I assume you’re saying it doesn’t matter that they had already requested to be released from “said team,” right?
Thanks.
In addition, I'm not sure what message is sent to the athletes who have committed to your program, have sacrificed and waited their turn to see the field. It's not a stretch to see this sort of thing having an adverse impact on the chemistry of the locker room.
Again, just my opinion, but it gives the appearance of a certain level of desperation.....and I don't think that's a good look for Michigan or Harbaugh.
Finally, I would have the same response if I discovered that Franklin is contemplating the same sort of recruiting trip.
