SumterAubie 3,031 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Does that information come from the recruit? Or from the school tendering the offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,050 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I don't know. I know with woods who I update every time I'd post his offer info that I'd get from his dad him or his social media, his profile on the recruiting sites would be updated a day or two later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaitopher 807 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Definitely a question for E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WDavE 332 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 When I asked Scout about this a couple of years back. The player provided the offer list. I hope this helps some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumterAubie 3,031 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Thanks So an offer list could have some fluff added to it by the recruit. 'oh yeah Notre Dame offered me. They sent me a form letter 6 months ago" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanTiger 20,472 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I think it is a combo of the letters they get with follow up by the various site recruiting guys for the different schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinman 305 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 The offer information comes from the recruit or possibly his high school coach, provided the recruit even tells the coach. College coaches do not publicize their offers because of NCAA rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,578 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 The offer information comes from the recruit or possibly his high school coach, provided the recruit even tells the coach. College coaches do not publicize their offers because of NCAA rules. Exactly. The school cannot announce if an offer is tendered or not. Only the player or his "people" can. So when we see that 532 high school seniors have an offer from bammer it's a pretty safe bet that most of them do not have anything like a commitable offer.

College coaches do not publicize their offers because of NCAA rules. They may not publicize them, but the recruiting guys for each school at Rivals, Scout, etc. have their backchannels to find out whether an offer is legit.

amsterjam 107 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I thought schools weren't able to mention any recruit by name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,578 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I thought schools weren't able to mention any recruit by name? They can't. That's why the offer lists do not come from any official school source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbomb 193 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 So the offer lists for some may be like Dr. Ben Carson's scholarship offer list? Not the place for political discussions but I will make this simple for you. You have zero idea about how someone finally gets into a service Academy. Basically he was told if he wanted in it would happen. He did not want in he wanted to be a doctor. He did not want in. He did not fill out papers. Sort of like not sending in his NLI on signing day.

My apologies. I'm not political at all. Didn't mean to touch a nerve with anyone who obviously is very political. Will delete. Wasn't funny anyway. Sorry.

ellitor 33,091 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 So an offer list could have some fluff added to it by the recruit. Unless a kid is a sure fire take there is fluff on both sides. It's a big balancing game that can be very delicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
