Do you think these are real offers, or kids interperting the letter from OSU saying they are being tracked and targeted as offers?

Do you think these are real offers, or kids interperting the letter from OSU saying they are being tacked and targeted as offers?

I would assume some are real and some is interpretation i.e. Daniels said he received an offer but as of now it is still verbal- he is supposed to get the written offer at camp.

HH- What do you think??

I think these offers very well could be legit. With Conley being gone and the new recruiting coordinator here I could definitely see a change in philosophy when it comes to the way offers go out. If these offers are indeed true, then I look at this as a similar way to what the University of Miami does recruiting style wise. They seem to go hard early on after out of state kids, get thier foot in the door with them with an offer and then wait till middle to late summer to start offering more in state kids. This is just my opinion on whats happening but I could definitely see it as a viable change in philosophy.

new name for the list

Carlos Thomas WR/CB College Park GA (Nutty started a thread on him)

MililaniBuckeye · #21 (**permalink**) 05-24-2004, 03:24 PM

86: Added Thomas to the database. I would like to hold off on listing someone as offered until we're really sure they have indeed been offered, preferably in writing. That's just my personal preference. But since the database is for everyone on BP, if you all prefer to have it annotated that they've even said they've been offered, then I could do that.

osubartender23: I'm not all that keen on tossing out a [censored]-load of offers early. By my count now, we have at least 30 offers (and that's not including Simpson which would bring that total up to 31 offers). With us having three commits already, thats 27-31 offers to fill a lot fewer openings than that. I hate over-offering. We don't need another fiasco where we pull an offer from a commit like we had last year.

Here's an updated chart of our offers:

Over offering? Hey, you have to offer more than you have spaces for because not everybody says yes. Also I would think that nearly all offers are dependent on their being a space left in the class. If there are offers out to 3 RBs and the staff only will take 1, once the first guys commits the other two are either told the ship is no longer available or slow played depending on the staff's feeling about the strength of the commitment. Now if you take a commitment and then back out of it to take someone else you like better - that is unethical in my mind. I don't know what happened with the kid last year. I hope it wasn't that.
