Whatever. The system has to change though. It's a friggin joke without an ounce of integrity or sincerity to it. Once a coach offers it must be in writing, open and firm for a stated period and either accepted within the offer period. Once accepted its not revocable absent academic disqualified, injury, illness, change in staff or extenuating circumstances. If a kid renegs, he has to sit a year. If a coach renegs the scholarship spot is lost for the year. The P5 schools are ephing up the system predominantly by over committing and giving themselves an advantage. No kid or school should be able to announce any verbal or non-binding commitment. Let them recruit and sign kids any time in their junior and senior year. Once a commitment is signed, no other school can contact the kid. You will start seeing more kids go to G5 schools and P5s being much more selective. It levels the playing field for everyone. The NCAA needs to start protecting student athletes and the integrity of the game and system. As it is now, the system is rat's maze of on and off recruiting periods. Talk no talk rules, no talk but visit...etc.. yet they cant get the basics simple and fair because they are pulled around by the nose by p5s wanting to game the system. Off my soap box..
