Me going full retard for a couple of minutes made me laugh. :D

 
sounds like a quite a stupid thing to say..... to me it just mean... 'yep im committed until something better comes along. gotta reserve myself a place at the table somewhere for now.' i say you either put a lot of work in with this kid or drop him (which i doubt they will do)... i only hope they continue to work hard on other CB's who really want to be here

 
The Rebels are currently the top choice for a recent Husker cornerback offer, Jonathan Cook, who's from Spanish Fort, Ala., across the bay from Mobile. Deep South. That's full-blood SEC country; you can get to five SEC states in four hours. It'll be a tough pull. Always.

From Sams article i posted on the main recruiting board. Glad we are getting him on campus, gives a fighting chance.

 
He has been contacted by a ton of schools since committing to us. He really likes nebraska, and the rumor is Deon might actually come up with him, but Deons a life long Alabama fan so dont expect a switch. The team to worry about is Auburn because they have spots to give and would be the most likely to offer at this point. Anyone other then bama auburn or georgia and we will be ok. With a visit and a good year on the field by us we could hold off a late offer

 
Its really hard to bash on a kid in this situation who has committed without ever stepping foot on campus. Seriously this was going to be a tricky kid to hang into based on his location alone. Visits can do wonders for kids these age and a visit may be ask he needs to strengthen his verbal. At this point freaking out over a comment like this is a little over blown.

What makes you think it's changed? The policy was basically you're either committed or you're not and if you're not, we'll keep recruiting others at your spot. Goimg by what's in this thread, I'm guessing the coaches don't consider this kid truly committed but like their odds to finish the job.

Seems like the coaches made it a point to really drive this point home on certain kids in the past that needed to shite or get off the pot, due to limited spots or whatever, but that doesn't mean they need to be hard-asses to every kid that gives a soft verbal. It's early and we're actively recruiting for multiple DB spots. Far different from a kid we're counting on that waffles late in the process or is dishonest with the coaches.
