So how does that work when a kid goes and tells people they have an offer when they really don’t? Do the coaches put out anything to dispel it, or do they usually just let it go? Also, how does someone get confused on if they have an offer or not?
I think NCAA regs prevent coaches from making any statement on any individual recruit by name. That is why it leads to wrong conclusions by fans on recruiting, like Barrett selected Tulane over the Hogs.
Guess so. It was a kid I was reading about the other day that said he chose Ouachita Baptist University over an offer from Memphis. Memphis people were all over Tubby Smith for this, but Memphis media was trying to tell everyone the kid didn’t have an offer and they had just inquired about him, but wasn’t able to reach anyone to speak to him. But, the kid and his family was insistent on he had a Memphis offer and was telling everyone that, yet he had never taken a visit there, never spoken to Tubby Smith, never had an in-home visit, or ever actually spoke to anyone on the coaching staff.
Read in the Memphis paper today that Rod Brown is considering reclassifying to a sr this yr because he’s too old to play at Cordova next yr. it also stated in the article that he has an offer from us
