I've seen Grant say he is still fully committed,

Anything out of Coleman's camp?

 

[Orange87]

Those that signed Letters of Intent - as Coleman did - don't really have a choice do they?

Only if there is a coaching change. Then, I believe, they can get out of the LOI.

I'm not sure that's true, I think they're locked in.

Technically speaking, a coaching change does not free a kid from his letter of intent. You sign with the school, not the coach. But oftentimes the school will let the kid out of his commitment if it is apparent the kid really does not want to play for the new coach.

DC2 says he is taking a wait and see approach.

So for example, say Coleman was recruited by and came to Cuse because of Fine ... he couldn't back out once something like this happens?

recruits can ask for a release at any time, but programs are very hesitant to grant them.

I think Jason Hart was the last SU recruit to ask for a release, but I am not sure if he formally requested it or just contemplated it.

It would be SU's option to let DC2 out of his commitment. Not DC2's choice. (Remember Jason Hart).

Since JB and Hopkins will be cleared of any wrongdoing ... DC2 has nothing to worry about.

He was looking to be a Bruin, right?

IIRC, it was a convoluted thing wherein he initially expressed interest in UNLV but there were rumors that UCLA was his real preference . . . but it's been so long my memory of the details is real hazy

Hart's brother had medical isses, and Hart was considering staying closer to home.

Conveniently, a scholarship opened up at UCLA right at the same time (too conveniently IMO).

Digging up some old memories ...

He signed with SU, then wanted to back out because his brother needed
a kidney transplant, and he a) wanted to remain close to home for that,
and b) wanted to be the donor. SU didn't let him out of the LOI,
because they'd said something like "SU committed to him, and didn't
recruit any other PGs." At the time I thought that waskind of a move.

A quick search shows his father donated the kidney, allowing Jason to
continue his basketball career.
