I listened to a few minutes of Lance McAlister and Rocky Boiman tonight on the radio and Rocky talked about a conversation he had with Dan Mullen. He asked Mullen if he was going to get back into coaching and Mullen told him a lot of coaches are burned out on recruiting because the only thing recruits and parents want to know anymore is how much you’re going to pay them.
He went on to tell a story about Arkansas coach Sam Pittman. One of his recruits had been verbally committed for awhile but on signing day he didn’t send in his LOI right away. Pittman called him to find out why and the father said they were thinking about switching to Colorado, but if Arkansas could give him some more money it might change his mind.
Pittman told him he had 5 minutes to send in his LOI or he was giving the scholarship to someone else.
Lance then talked about SEC schools trying to convince Cincinnati players who are still on UC’s roster to enter the portal.
I don’t know how to link directly to it, but if you want to listen to the whole segment and you have the iHeartRadio app, search for today’s episode of The Roundtable Show and jump to about the 1 hour and 43 minute mark.
