Some guy who was committed to us no longer committed to us

[MeanDean]

There has to be a better term than "commitment" for anything prior to the NLI.

Temporarily infatuated?
Puppy Love?

Friend with benefits?

 

[usedcarguy]

Firmly entrenched?

 

[DurangoCy]

"Going Steady"

Or you can use the baseball analogy:
1st base - interest
2nd base - offer
3rd base - verbal committment
HR - signed NLI

I'm not sure what it is, but we'll need one for McNeill.
2004 Yankees? Buckner?

Unlike Capt. Kirk and co., we'll keep recruiting him all the way to signing day.

Big yawn for Dwan. No interviews.

My recruiting guide

One night stand: lucky to get commit, probably not going to last.
Dating: Chance signing will happen, but pretty hot commodity.
Engaged: Amazing relationship. Hope one of the big boys don't come calling.
Married: Fought off all the late suitors and time for a beer.

This is pretty close, but needs another level:

"In the starting line up" - Interest
"1st Base" - Offer
"2nd Base" - Verbal Commitment
"3rd Base" - NLI
"Home Run" - Actually enrolled at ISU and showed up on campus!

At this point, a 2019 commit only has the potential to hurt the school. This kid will continue to be recruited by other schools and he'll likely continue to listen. So there's no advantage to the school to have a commit.

But, a commit may cause other recruits to not consider ISU because they have their 2019 QB figured out. So if you're the coaching staff, why wouldn't you just tell the kid, thanks for your interest let's keep this internal until next year.

 

[CycloneVet]

Hats off to the kid for not dragging it out. He apologized in his tweet. No hard feelings

 

[Bryce7]

Hope he enjoys Kentucky.

 

[Stewo]

Hope he enjoys Kentucky.

I think MSU will eventually offer and that's where he'll end up.

Big yawn for Dwan. No interviews.

Big ywan! FIFY.

 

[NewClone09]

Dwan committed to MSU today for anyone interested, no word as to whether he'll be taking interviews on his decision.

Someone update the thread title.

Comes out of dugout and tips hat to the crowd after the HR--- actually shows up on campus

Man that guy keeps flipping upwards. At least the staff really identified his talent.
