The moment we offered one schollie to any of their players, it would have been in the coaches best interest to advise the player to accept for the future good of the whole. Instead, we are getting the shaft and made to look stupid and before long we aren't going to be going to Gateway to actively recruit. We may still offer token offers but as far as hard core recruiting we will know that it has been and will be a waste of time. JMO!

All I'm saying is that if we are recruiting a guy like Bell and have now pulled the offer to Hale, we need to do it the right way. It sounds like we have just stopped calling and Hale is likely getting the message but we need to be smart about things and be respectful also.
The whole, just stop calling thing was pretty much how I broke up with girls in high school. Believe me when I tell you it made it more difficult to ever have a shot with one of their friends at a later date. I'm sure Tress will be a bit smoother with things than 16 year-old me was.
