Tough nuts. It might seem a little crummy to continue recruiting a guy once he's announced a verbal but there is absolutely no coach in the world who does not do that. In this case, it's not as though RR swooped in at the last minute as Tiller claims. There was already a relationship and maybe Roundtree wanted to play for RR but not go to West Virginia - once RR's situation changed, so did the recruiting.
Mark Dantonio was recruiting Dann O'Neill for months after his verbal to Michigan. I refuse to believe that Jeff Jags and Butch Davis were not putting in calls to Christian Wilson when the coaching change was made. Let's not act like calling recruits to try and get them to change their minds is some sneaky Rich Rodriguez thing. It's a sneaky every-single-D-IA-coach-in-the-world thing. That's the reality these days. We all know a verbal is, at best, a "probably."
I wonder what Tiller means about not going in "that building" again. Roundtree's high school?
