Does anyone actually believe the staff explicitly told him he’d be “8th or 9th off the bench”?

I don’t. 

Absolutely not. It sounds more like how it was ik interpreted on the recruits end.

I think recruiting is fun to watch and speculate, but there is so much that can happen in these relationships, either way, that we don't have access to. A recruit could be all in half-way through the visit, and then hear or see some things that changes his mind. The same can be said for the staff. I'm sure there are times where the staff gets to spend more time around some players and realize for whatever reason that they aren't a good fit.

You don't just cancel the visit, but obviously your pitch probably changes a bit at that point. There are ways for either party to send signals that the attitude has changed. Sometimes you don't let on until the visit is over.

I guess what I'm saying is that I don't think it is as black and white as some on here make it out to be. Sometimes you spend a bunch of time wooing a girl and then once you get a chance to really spend time with her, you realize she requires a lot more maintenance than you have in your budget. Or maybe you notice her Adam's apple. Who knows, but things can and do change.

Sounds like someone who doesn't want to work for it and wants it handed to him.

Kinda has that vibe, he was given an honest assessment and didn't like it. OR maybe he needed an excuse to choose Maryland and make momma happy.
