I just saw that Costello, Smith, and Robinson all re-tweeted Demetris Robertson's tweet that he re-opened his recruitment.  I would not be surprised to hear that those three all played a role in getting Robertson to re-consider his options.  Remember that Costello, Smith and Robinson chose to commit quite early in the process, despite the risks of the admissions process and despite the fact that Shaw makes offers that he says can be accepted at any time in the process.  I suspect that a key reason to commit early was to help build the class, and they have a great opportunity to do just that.  In 2015, Chaffin and Wilson were the guys who took that role.  But they didn't start until summer and they weren't the same elite level recruits as the guys who are doing the recruiting this year.  This class has more the feel of the 2009 class, when Skov got a very early start and had a lot of street cred.

I don't recall where I read it but I remember reading a quote from Costello that indicated he wanted to commit early so he could help recruit

This was during his recruitment in a video interview, probably on Rivals. He said that he didn't want to commit anywhere until he was 100% certain. He didn't want to be one of those kids who switched schools because he felt it was important as a quarterback to help build the recruiting class and begin leading right away. If he were to switch, he would essentially have built his competitor's recruiting class, so he was going to wait. Based on all that, I'm sure he's currently one of our top recruiters.
