The list of coaches who tell recruits what they want to hear is 300 schools long.
That's true, but some are generally honest, while others have sometimes demonstrated a more casual relationship with the truth (see Carmody, Bill).
I am pretty sure SD was being honest with Caleb Wood, Matt M. Things don't always work out as you envision. He probably was pretty hopeful last year, based on his experience, when he named Silpe the starting point guard. Stuff happens. So it's in coaches best interest to recruit great players and then tell them how big their role can be. If what a coach tells a recruit and what actually happens were always true, there wouldn't be many bench players in D1.
