Let's assume all of these potential rumors are true, this is the uncomfortable-ness of having certain recruits committed but still flirting with others. Valentine is already committed but would that change with a Dupree commitment (likely?). Does Knight still being a possibility mean the staff cools on people like Platt, who could then commit to another program? It also swings both ways (not that there's anything wrong with that!), where a recruit may commit to your program but wants a specific team to give him an offer. Finding the right tune to keep everyone happy is a delicate dance.
