Any chance we get a surprise? Hey, maybe Jimmy will wait until spring and get kids from a school that has a coaching change - it worked for class of 2013

We had13 players on scholarship when the semester started with no one graduating. Therefore, even if someone were to transfer/leave school tomorrow, we cannot sign anyone until May at best and that will be dependent on someone having announced his departure by then.

I didn't know that was a rule. I actually like waiting to the end of the season to see what we really have. Thanks for the clarification. Glad to hear from you KS.

Longwood had that issue last year..they had one scholarship for 2013 and were recruiting 3 players saying the first to commit gets it so I backed out...then the asst said the head coach can't say it but he wants the 2 guys graduating to move on and then they can take all 3...well the coach got fired and ran those two off and took the offer back from the one that commited...I thought back to that to agree with you bigsaintg this is indeed a crazy business.

Long to Longwood would have been too weird anyway.

That's not a rule. Schools can sign 13 if they want. They just have to find a way to open up the scholarships by the next school year. Follow the recruiting of most teams, almost every team has more "commitments" than scholarships expected to be available, at some point. In today's game, if you don't, you end up with a Mitch like 6 man rotation. As PPC just confirmed, coaches put out extra offers all the time.

Maybe you should ecucate the coaching staff, since that is the source of my information.

Offers and commitments are two different things. Of course they recruit and offer more kids then they have ships - first to commit gets it. Hey a kid gets 20 offers he gets to choose so why is if a problem if multiple kids are offered. Just business

You can offer 100 but you can only sign 13 and that is KnickSaints point I believe. ..

You can offer 100 but you can only sign 13 and that is KnickSaints point I believe. .. Yes, you can sign 13, that's what I said. Since scholarships are none renewable, you can sign 13 every year and find room for them. Does anyone take it to that level? No. But if a top recruit wants to sign with Siena in the early period, Siena will take the commitment. There is no rule saying they can't, because scholarships are not automatically renewable, so they have zero players on scholarship for next year. And what knicksaint actually said is they can't take a mid-year transfer because they have no scholarships available now. Those are 2 different things. His answer actually had nothing to do with the early signing period.

I think waht KS was saying is that as long as you have 13 kids on ship you cannot take an actual commitment. Thus, we just keep recruting and see what happens at mid-season or after the season.

You can take a verbal, but not "sign" a kid. Verbals are non-binding. A signed LOI is.
