Jrheeter, thats exactly what some staffs do and what ours should be doing.  Your forgetting that it is a rat race to make contact and build a relationship.  Doing that at minimum, you can guage whether a player is going to be interested in your school for you to continue to recruit him as you work through the process of scholarship availability.  We used to have this issue when we had talent with guys going through the pre-draft process and waiting to make their decision.  By laying your cards on the table you may be able to get a kid to delay their decision, timing is a factor so if you wait until you know for sure, a guy you would be interested may be scooped up before you can even make your pitch.

Take Eric Musselman and Arkansas for example, they are still playing, have a 5 man, # 2 class in the nation and are reaching out to nearly every transfer under the moon.  Muss probably doesnt know right now who will or will not be back but that doesnt stop him and hes putting out feelers for what he is selling. This is a lame excuse for JB and staff not to be selling and making contact in the event they have scholarships to upgrade the roster so they are not home again next year in March.
