I really don't understand why some of you try to make this harder than it is. He asks the KIDS to make that agreement and tells them what the consequences are if they don't adhere to it. There is NOTHING in that that is on the other coaches. Where are you guys lost on this?
It's easy for other kids they speak to to say they have shut down their recruiting either because they just don't wish to speak to anyone else, or their team has similar requirements. 
When Tuipulotu's official visit was announced. There was a major outbreak of rumors. The majority of which were generated by huskies fans. We do live in an age of social media. As far as other fan bases they were a lot more geared towards Petersons commitment policies.

Until someone on here shows one single case where any kid anywhere has said their recruiting is shut down and they still push them, there is zero hypocrisy. Period. Stop. End of discussion.
I mean he doesn't even have that requirement of others, more or less does he do it as far as I'm aware. Think about it. He doesn't say a single thing to other coaches. Nowhere. At least as far as anyone has brought up. I really don't spend time going through years of history of his recruiting, but based on what he says that's what we know. His contract is with THE RECRUITS, NOT with other coaches! Period. He asks the KIDS to not talk to other coaches after committing. He's certainly aware some do it anyway and some will change their minds. And he has never (that I'm aware of) said a single negative thing about other schools that have flipped his recruits, nor the recruits themselves that have changed their minds. You MUST have that to insist upon your criticism of this perceived hypocrisy. He isn't treating the kids, nor the other coaches differently than he does other recruits from other teams. Not even a little bit.
Coaches are free to try to talk to UW's kids. I haven't read anything that otherwise goes against that. It is on the KIDS themselves to make a hard commitment (or just don't make one at all) and say no to those other schools. No reasonable person can then say going to other kids and asking them if they have interest as long as they respect any/all statements back to them that they are not interested or not able to talk to them. THAT would be where there is hypocrisy. Prove that has happened and I'll agree. Wouldn't have any problem going along with it. As far as I know that hasn't happened, or at least they say they don't do that stuff.
Again, you all want to question the viability of their stance? Go right ahead. Not sure I find it agreeable, or at least I'm not banging any drum in favor of it. I'm simply keeping it real.
No, not even a little bit, because once again you want to poach small bits and leave the already given answer out. He says they never push kids that are shut down. THAT would be hypocrisy.
The best way I can put it.Other than what I just posted. I think Petersons rule is flawed and in a lot of ways destructive.I would hate if the SC staff said if you take an OV you're done.
Ok, now I see you both just want to keep on trolling.
I think sark had the same commitment policy with his wife
Thats not trolling its facts and well thought conversation based on analysis and actions. You may want to read the posts or do more research. Peterson policy and practices. Is a topic being discussed in several venues. Actually a pretty big topic between the Tui flip and recruiting season. Iowa also practices this policy. Its a power move intended to pressure commits. However when Peterson fields visits from commits or offers commits.It really doesn't look too flattering.
Exactly great metaphor
