And what you’re claiming doesn’t even make sense. I’ve actually been through this stuff really recently, had coaches sitting in our living room telling us stuff, sat in coaches offices while they told us stuff. Had coaches say “well if this happens or that doesn’t happen then you’re going to be next in line”. Had other coaches say “we want you, you’re out number one recruiting priority and we want you to commit to our offer right now”.

I’ve heard all of the stuff, I’m not uneducated or inexperienced. If they offer, really actually offer, then they want a commitment and that is an offer. If it is hedged in any way then if really isn’t an offer, it is a stipulation.

I don’t care what some recruiting dork coined as a phrase for it the truth is if it ain’t committable then it ain’t an offer.

Now of course there are offers that are later rescinded, but that doesn’t make the original offer “non committable”, it just means they reneged on the offer.

But you keep telling me whatever it is you think will validate your point, I’ll keep listening and then disagreeing because I know it is wrong.
