I am advocating keeping our options open because the kid is keeping his open. Heck yes. Let's see what else is out there. And if we get someone better, Wallace opened that door. Not the Syracuse coaches.
Then that isn't a commitment. You commit. You stop visiting. If Wallace or anyone else wants to visit other schools, God bless him. Go for it. He just can't be disappointed when he open up our visits to other linebackers. If one better comes along, all the better.
are you new to college football recruiting? Its rare to commit and NOT take all visits. Any one of us would do it, so don't get too emotional about it.
That's not the only way this plays out. If we find someone better take him, if we can't we better have a plan to take the next best player as quickly as possible. Its only fair. You don't have to tell the kid everything you're doing every step of the way. Actions speak louder than words. A verbal commitment while still taking multiple visits has a very thin margin for error. Early verbal commitments then taking all your visits does not have a 90% success rate. I don't know the exact number but its alot closer to 50-50 than I would like.
I think its quite rare to verbally commit THEN take all your visits. Normally its you make your visits then verbally commit to the college.
I don't know the current coaching staffs philosophy, but there have been past staffs who have actually encouraged kids to take their visits even if they have verballed to SU.
Not rare at all.
I guess we have different percentages in mind that defines rare.
Yeah, I'm new. Thanks for the tip. If a kid continues to take visits, he hasn't really committed.
We have had some stupid staffs then. No wonder how records have sucked for 17 years. I don't think this is a controversial stance. If a kid wants to continue taking visits for whatever reason, he isn't totally committed to us. No problem. But don't be surprised that we are going to keep looking for people at your position. It is a two way street.
No it isn't. It's pretty normal to commit and then take visits.
^^^ You get a like because Christopher Walken is just classic! Does not matter what conversation he is inserted into...
That is not the reason. He is not a head coach because he was a very bad head coach.
