Rich Rod not making friends
In case you have missed the quote by Purdue head coach Joe Tiller on the loss of wide receiver Roy Roundtree to Michigan's Rich Rodriguez, here it is:
"If we had an early signing date, you wouldn't have another outfit with a guy in a wizard hat selling snake oil get a guy at the last minute, but that's what happened."
I get Tiller's point, but it's what this game has become. Obviously, there was interest on Roundtree's part to want to go to Michigan or he wouldn't have made the switch. Did anyone see Rich Rodriguez complaining about schools trying to take his recruits? How about Texas A&M and California trying to get Sam McGuffie to change his mind?
Everyone and every team does it and if a kid shows any interest at all, he's fair game. One very prominent college coach once told me, "We're gonna keep on that kid until that paper goes through the fax machine on signing day."
College coaching has become a what have you done for me lately world. Unless you want to lose or get fired, you do what you have to do.
