I think coaches have been honest for a while. And, I think the players have known what level they belong at for a while. The problem is parents. Parents' expectations, their translation/perception of what a coach actually tells them and the image of the decision play big factors in the college process. You can tell from this thread that some want you to know "my kid was good enough for conference or school X but chose Y because........" Who cares? As long as the kid is happy, who cares? Justification is not needed.
