Petrino/Granthem pull offer and get banned from H.S.....

Sad to hear. At least this kid has a good ranking and solid numbers to list. I'm thinking a team will step in for sure with an offer.

Also, more ammo for anybody recruiting against Petrino. If I had a kid being recruited no way in hell I'd let that coach through the door.
 
As if Petrino hadn't provided enough ammo already? The email he sent to the Falcons from Arkansas should be laminated and in CPJ's wallet.

Wow, Kid just did Official 2 weeks ago up there...bet he is looking for an ACC school that plays Louisville every year...or Kentucky.

Mr. Football in SC.
 
Makes me feel even better about CPJ honoring the offer to the kid from NC, and about being a Tech Man!

why you need early signing period. Kids are getting screwed and NCAA encouraging 18 y/o to look like assclowns with hat parties.

It's indefensible that we have not gone to a true "offer and acceptance" scheme like the entire rest of the contract world.

If a coach puts an "offer" out there, then it should be a binding contract (on both parties) as soon as it's "accepted."

This would solve all problems so quickly. Teams would slow down on their 8th grader "offers" and actually take time to evaluate a kid. Kids would have to be serious about committing and teams would know exactly where they stand. No more of these pretend offers while coaches sort out who they really want.

Why won't it happen? Because recruiting season and national signing day (baby draft) has become big business.

And big business ALWAYS trumps the interests of the student athlete.
 
öööö did Grantham let that stupid sharpie he wears in his ear loose again, or was he wearing black face in that picture? Reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where Kramer is dating a black chick and falls asleep in the tanning bed
 
This has happened so many times. They'll come back next year and "trust will have been restored because they say they're sorry". HS coaches don't hold the cards because they're trying to get scholly offers for their kids and Louisville has em. Maybe it'll be different though because I'm used to reading this story about Alabama, auburn, etc.

Then again the flip side is that if schools had a "sign now and we're both committed" there would be a lot of high pressure tactics on these students to get them to sign on the spot.

Valid point. But I'm not sure I agree for about 90% of recruits. For a lot of coaching staffs, they throw an "offer" early and then do the real evaluation process. There's maybe only 10% of recruits who coaches would immediately be willing to put out an offer and accept a commit on the spot.

For that 10%, they will have the leverage to explore their options. For the other 90%, they won't be getting that offer and pressure early. It will come at some point, but by then they will have a better handle on where they want to go.

No system is 100% perfect, just like no human enters into a perfect contract for themselves 100% of the time.

But the current process is completely broken, in my opinion.
 
There are 72 hour out clauses in certain individual - commercial contracts. There are ways to protect both sides.
