It's one thing to talk to a new coach after he's hired with the limit contact in the spring and summer. It's another to go through the real grind in the fall

Yes, that is true. Even the coach who recruited you out of high school may end up being a totally different person once you get on campus in the fall.
I read a story about ex-Bowling Green hc Dan Dakich: he was super-nice, polite, respectful, etc. to the player and his parents during the recruiting process. Once the player arrived on campus in the fall though, he found out that DD was a meaner, tougher taskmaster.
