Hopefully we are able to buck the recent trend with Foster and Evans. We are in good shape with him atm. As long as he doesn't get an AU tattoo before signing... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda pissed we lost Master Teague lll to them only after they recently offered. I imagine the weather is miserable during the winter and I wouldn't guess they have a lot of hotties up there like southern schools have. Like I said, I just don't comprehend the appeal. Don't get me wrong, I think Urban Meyer is a great coach but growing up, I don't ever remember Ohio State coming to the south and hand picking the players they want, sigh. I guess Urban's got it like that nowadays. Specific to Harris it's his dream school. It still remains to be seen if he's a take for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will get constant exposure being the face of the big ten. All that plays dividends in your decision when your goal is to make the NFL...Not the power of the vagina.

No. It's an offer that has stipulations attached to it. It could be grades, weight, test scores, along with many other things. If the player meets those, then he may commit. If he doesn't, then they both move on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredst 9,064 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I would think a non-commitable offer is only "not an offer" if the recruit let's their pride prevent them from waiting on whatever conditions have to be met. Ultimately it doesn't mean jack until a letter of intent is signed by a prospect and accepted by the school anyway....except to us pathetic humans that spend a bunch of time worrying where some damn 18 year old is going to play football (yes, I'm one of them, lol).

An offer with stipulations is not an offer. If one cannot accept the offering, it's not an offer. "We're interested in you but..." is not an offer of employment. Just show up at your (hopefully) new job with nothing but that and see how fast they show you the door. An offer, any offer, is something that can be accepted. Specific to the situation of players, I seriously doubt that these "non-offers" can be accepted as soon as the player gains/loses 12 pounds or makes a grade of B in his history class. There are more strings attached than what the player himself can control, thus there is no offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you are saying that no matter how many LB's OSU gets lined up, Harris has a scholarship there waiting for him if he does certain things? "Experts" here say that's not the case and if it's not the case then he doesn't have an offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Experts" here say that's not the case and if it's not the case then he doesn't have an offer. There's really no point in furthering this. Your mind is clearly made up. As a final note though, I have a safety playing at LA Lafayette instead of TAMU, because his offer to TAMU was contingent on a higher ACT score. If he had scored high enough, they would have gladly accepted his commitment. That's how non-commitable offers work. I also have a LB at TCU that did make the grades. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr82be 14,402 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 So maybe it should be called a contingent offer instead of a non-commitable offer and that way the smoke clears for everyone concerned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They mean the same thing in the recruiting world. A noncommittable offer is not set in stone to remain that way. It is contingent on stipulations being met set forth by the staff recruiting the prospect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
