Bull **** move by Hobbs trying to steal recruits on his way out the door.
If true sounds like a BS move if true.
But it's a common practice for assistants on the move to try and bring in talent to their new place that they were in process of trying to sign on with their old place .
HCs that change jobs seem to get some of their stars to follow them to their new place , especially now that there's no sitting out a season for transferring from one program to another.
Coaches scooping up recruits and roster players from old job to the new one is part of the college landscape now
