Mailbag Question: About a commit

Hey Guys,

I am a little confused. How does a kid commit, but not commit. Is the two paid sites fighting about a kid committed or not? When is a kid committed? When his parents on one site say he did not talk with anybody and that he isn't committed while the other site has quotes from the kid himself saying he is committed?

How can this be?

Who normally "Okays" the kid? A recruiting coordinator, an asst. coach, a head coach who ... how does this get cleared up or is this just a timing issue?

Thanks for the question. At most, programs official scholarship offers can only come from the head coach. Assts will tell players they really like them and would love to have them, but until the head coach offers it is all speculation. Many programs even go step further and official offer does not have force until either in writing or in person from heas coach.

The confusion can have multiple causes. One site trying to break information 1st jumps the gun. One site listens to a family member or family friend who is not privy to finial decision. A Kid could change their mind. Someone might ignore family’s wishes to not announce until a certain date. On the other hand, something as simple as miscommunication.

  1. I don't what the confusion could be, I saw this posted days ago on a free LSU forum.

    "I talked to Coach (Jay) Hopson and he asked me if I was ready to be a Wolverine and I said 'Yes sir,'" Jones said Monday afternoon. "Coach Rodriguez was in his office and heard the celebration down the hall and came out to see what it was all about and found out I committed."

    Also his High School coach said this.

    U-M linebackers coach Jay Hopson is the reason DeQuinta commited to Michigan, Bastrop (La.) High School coach Brad Bradshaw said Tuesday

    Also from the LSU camp.

    Jones Update Archive

    LSU reported that at camp he measured in at 6'3", 305 lbs.
