Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 2183792, member: 285"] What is there to realize? The staff knows exactly where they stand, they are not dumb people. They can't force the kid to commit publicly or sign an LOI if he doesn't want to or isn't ready? Maybe the only reason we got a non-public commitment was because we put pressure on a kid who hadn't fully flushed out his decision (meaning hadn't gotten his whole family on board with his desires). Maybe if it were earlier in the process and we had multiple guys looking at taking a final ship, but that isn't even remotely close to the case. A non-public verbal is worth the paper it isn't written on. There is a reason it's not a public commitment; either he/his family wasn't 100% or he didn't want other schools like Duke to know, so that it didn't stop them from offering. [/QUOTE]
