Than you need to make a decision whether that player is special enough to wait.  Very few are.

If they are just tire kicking, and say several others are offering similar funding with no restrictions and can back out when there is a higher bid, well it's a two way street isn't it?

If they are considering multiple schools, and they are similar funding levels and they can't decide, ask what will it take for them to decide.  An additional 100k?  250k?  What?  What is the decision process, some are just going to sit around for the highest bid at the last moment, may have to let those go.  Tell them to call you when they are ready to commit.

If it's a matter of willing to sign for an addition $X, than decide to secure that money or not to get that player.

On the flip side, a school that lets you back out on a higher offer carries additional risks, they are also as likely to be recruiting other players entering the portal at a later time or backing out from other deals and turn around to tell the first player that he is no longer needed because they found someone better and good luck.

It's a matter of finding good fits from both sides.  At some point a decision has to be made to wait or not.  It's the same as in real estate transactions you make an offer to s property saying it's your "best offer", and seller comes back saying there are multiple offers and asking for "best and final", it's up to you to decide if you want to up your best offer to a newer best offer.

I am not sure cuse is a destination seeing we have been not competitive for so long and Red is seemingly a lame duck this year.
