I have wondered about this process and the motivation of some of the recruits. While I believe most players--even those with strong leanings to a particular college--simply are exploring their options, would it be totally unfounded to suggest that others might be using the situation for other reasons? The skeptic in me can envision a recruit inviting the nation's premier women's basketball coach into her home if only to say at a later date, "Yeah, Geno flew across the country to visit me but eventually I told him that I wanted to play elsewhere." The attention is flattering and, for some, I fear, the rejection may be satisfying, as well. Manipulative? Yes. Unethical? Probably. Unlawful? No. I don't know Boston and am not questioning the motives of her or anyone else in particular but wonder if there aren't some players engaged in this behavior? Perhaps I have crossed the line from skeptic to cynic and the Boneyard cognoscenti will tell me as much. In that regard, I am hoping to be wrong. [/QUOTE]
