Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 2183980, member: 285"] What makes you think we didn't ask him to sign the NLI immediately? But the reality is that if he was willing to sign the NLI, he would have been willing to publicly commit. It doesn't seem that hard to figure out. Y ou have a better understanding of the recruiting process than to suggest we had control over when a kid with pretty sophisticated family representation is going to make/announce his decision....especially when we have exactly zero real leverage with him given our extreme need at the position and lack of similar level options still available. And, he isn't screwing us over if he backs off on a commitment given one or two days earlier. It's not like the QG situation where we seemingly made lots of decisions on other kids based on what we thought was a pretty firm verbal commitment from Green. Tucker's apparent waivering happened so quickly, we didn't have time to allow ourselves to be screwed by it. [/QUOTE]
