Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5083935, member: 44"] If that's the strategy, and for &100K, I think it is the smart move, the time to do that was before the kid publicly indicated he was leaving the program. I wonder if the assistant coach who purportedly offered Skyla $100,000 to move to UNLV overreached and was not authorized to make that offer (translation: he was just talking out his ass when he offered the kid 100 grand). Having overstepped, he might not have communicated the promise to the head coach, the school, or the boosters. So we're left with a kid waiting for $100,000 that he's been promised, a coach who had no authority to make the promise denying it to everyone else and a group of boosters who are entirely clueless that the promise was made. That seems to be the best fit to the facts. I can't see a school knowingly, making offers that they're not going to keep. I can't see a kid suddenly deciding that he's worth more in the free market and manufacturing a narrative that he was promised $100,000, unless he actually was. I absolutely can see some Coach talking out his butt, realizing he's dug one hell of a hole for himself, going turtle and hoping for the best. [/QUOTE]
