Semi-interesting fact - Devin Redd coached both Kareem Hunt (at Toledo) and Isiah Pacheco (at Rutgers) of the Kansas City Chiefs.

How does Fran handle these? Babers would tell them to decommit if they went on other visits and weren't sure about their commitment to Cuse. This guy is class of 26, a lot can happen between now and then.These verbal commitments change 4 or 5 times before signing day.

That's not the definition of a commitment. We just can't change meanings of words now can we?

We're worried about an OV to Michigan State?

The term verbal commitment needs to be deleted from the college sports recruiting lexicon and replaced with intention. "I would like to announce my verbal intention to attend that university to play football. I could change my mind at any time."

You think players are coming to Syracuse and not getting a bag?

Enough of this nonsense about any player looking anywhere else is just about the money.

Don't care about how much he'll make concerned it's not a solid commitment and we'll lose a good player, that's the issue.

I wasn't replying to your post.

And a visit shouldn't concern you that it's not a solid commitment. We're not losing anyone at the moment.

Verbal commitment is also stupid because verbal just means using words - it can be spoken or written. Until someone uses smoke signals to commit, I assume all commitments are verbal, including signing a LOI.

Gaslighting

For some context, per recruiting services, Gates is taking OVs to both Michigan State and Syracuse in June. Could he flip? Sure. But I like Fran Brown's chances to retain, and if a guy flips, best of luck to him and next prospect up

Apizza Regionale. Nice!

He's committed until he isn't. Nice size for a corner with excellent speed. Keep recruiting knowing there will be flips.

I think the verbal should be out the window. You commit it's the same thing as signing unless there's a HC change.

The best. Paulie is the man there!

You can can a non-binding commitment whatever you want.

Whether you verbal, sign a letter of intent, or even enroll, your “commitment” is only good as long as you don’t change your mind.

Lamson transferred to Bowling Green in January, I think, and he’s already transferring again. One semester at his new school, now on to the next school!
