Yeah spare me the unwritten rules crap. Players/kids choose who they want to coach them for the next four years not some ridiculous moral code.

They flipped because they sold on their coach, they believe in him not Vandy. The kids that want to stay committed to Vandy will stay. Those that not sure will open their recruiting back up. I have No problem with it.
Part of coaching is being a salesman and havin people buy in. It's rrhetoric and thats apart of his sales pitch "men of honor". I promise you'll hear it at Penn St too.

ATL1: I agree with you, some recruits go to a school for no other reason than to play for a particular coach. They should always have the option of backing out of their decisions when the coach leaves prior to the signing of the LOI. This has no reflecton on the character of the recruit, it just indicates they committed to the school because they wanted to play for the particular coach.

Dang! was hoping he'd stay at thuga and run that defense into the ground
Yeah, morals smorals. What I'm saying is what Franklin is doing is over the line. Here's another perspective on it: http://www.tennessean.com/article/2...oy-Vanderbilt-recruiting-class?nclick_check=1
They're probably a little biased, as am I (they probably hate Franklin as much as I do), but what's happening isn't business as usual.

I do not think it is ethical for Franklin to try and sway a player he has recruited for Vanderbilt to change his mind and attend Penn State. In fact, I am not even sure I would accept a request from those recruits at Penn State. I would tell them that they either need to stay at Vanderbilt or find another school to attend. It just would not set right with me to take them to another school because I was headed there.
I do think it is within the moral code, if a recruit decided he no longer wants to attend Vanderbilt, that he has the right to contact other schools that he might like to attend, or other coaches of whom he might like as a mentor.

If I was the AD at PSU, I would make his former school off limits. I do not even remember a Georgia coach stooping that low.

something happened in statesboro yesterday i certainly haven't seen and really appreciated. southern's new coach, willie fritz. invited former coach, jeff monken, to address the eagles at his first team meeting yesterday. with so many egomaniacs in this world, it's refreshing to see the new coach and old coach address the team together in such a fashion. CJM really does love the eagles and he's very appreciative of southern giving him his first HC job. truly shows these gentlemen just aren't about themselves but care about the student athletes under their care. no doubt, it meant the world to the players to have a chance to hear from both coaches. too bad all transitions between coaches can't be so civil and constructive.
