"Stealing Recruits"
The idea that 18 and 17 year old kids should be forced to honor a verbal commitment is ridiculous. Was it upsetting the way Campbell left? Is it upsetting to see potentially talented players change their verbal commitments? Sure it is. However, the idea that they should be made to play under a head coach who didn't recruit them is silly. Selecting the right college is stressful enough for a regular student. I can't imagine what it is like for a football player capable of playing major college football. What if you were recruited to play under one system and the new head coach or coordinator wants to run another system. Do you really want players who are unhappy and don't want to be there playing for your school? Unless you are some major school that sells itself, players don't attend based on the school, they select schools based on the coaching staff. Players that decided to go to Iowa St, were never Toledo recruits. They were Campbell recruits. In the end, hopefully players end up with a decent degree and are able to make a good living. If a player takes a serious injury during his career, maybe the school rallies and gives him a nice wheelchair and honors him during a game, but at that point most of the people complaining about the recruiting process won't care or remember them anyway. So, if a player being recruited by Toledo, selects a different school, so be it. They don't owe your desires of being entertained or your dreams of building the program anything. They are making decisions based on their goals and dreams, not yours. If Candle is as good as some of you think and is as good as his salary, he should be able to recruit similar level players.
