It's just floors me that you actually believe Mike Frank is trying to "create" drama and manufacture something juicy to talk about. That's not the case, at all. He reports what he hears, and 95% of that is either coming from an assistant coach or player.
The truth is the Trumbetti stuff about being "ignored" or whatever is overstated... but it came privately from Trumbetti himself after the fact. He talked about how there was a period of time where he was hearing from ND analysts much more than he was hearing from ND coaches, and really wasn't sure where he stood with them in terms of "want" because other coaches were contacting him more frequently than ND and going with a harder sell. This is pretty explicable when you consider what all was going on in the winter of 2012/13, but it's the truth per Trumbetti. Obviously, after the season once Diaco decided to stay put and then we made a stop at his HS it all wrapped up pretty quickly after that and all is well that ends well.
I'm as guilty as anyone of living in the moment and drawing conclusions/making overreactions off limited information. And recruiting is always very fluid. And I'm wrong about stuff probably much more so than I'm correct.
But one thing I'm definitely not wrong about is whether Mike Frank is pulling BS out of his ass here for just for sake of talking points. He's not, and it's truly uninformed and laughable to say he is. As I posted earlier in this thread, I strongly disagree with a lot of his opinion that I find has -- at best -- inconsistent logic. However, the dismissive attitude towards what he knows or hears is a joke. For every anecdote he brought up, there is another on guys like Weishar, etc. that I know of. And the amount of information I know almost surely pales in comparison to the people who do this professionally.
