    It's not so much they wont recruit them, it is more that they will choose to invest in recruiting kids who will be more inclined to sign.
    And I can understand your last statement which makes more sense. I know that the coaches will recruit the top players and the top players will go to the top programs presumably for much more than what shoe label is involved. I think coaches, facility and national exposure will play a larger role in that.

    When mama is getting a five or six figure check from shoe manufacturer X you can bet she is going to be slapping jr. over the head and letting him know exactly which schools he will be entertaining for his services and it won't be schools that have contracts with shoe manufacturer Y.
