"Behind the Scenes: 2014 recruiting"

This is a fun read: http://247sports.com/Article/Behind-the-scenes-of-the-2014-recruiting-cy....

We weren't the only ones to lose a commit to UVa because of their relationship with the Thoroughbreds.

Four-star wide receiver Jamil Kamara was a similar instance informing Wisconsins staff of his intentions that he was going to commit and sign with them. He told the Badgers late this past fall. So much so that Wisconsins staff placed his name on its commit board.

The local connections through his Thoroughbreds 7-on-7 team proved to be too much in the end and Virginia won for the four-star receiver.

Isaiah McKenzie wasn't happening...

Four-star wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie told Brian Kelly during a late January in-home visit that he was coming to Notre Dame. Then, he and the Irish parted ways once the offer from Virginia Tech showed up last Wednesday and Notre Dame told him there was no spot for him unless he took his final official visit to South Bend. He was set to sign with Ole Miss upon returning from the Virginia Tech official until the Georgia offer arrived at 3:30 p.m. Monday. His connection with his teammate, four-star RB Sony Michel, and the support system in place in Athens for him proved to the ultimate deciding factor.
