So they had no offer, committable or not they had no offer. This is honestly elementary level stuff, any 3 year old can understand it.

So explain to us how the “non committable offer” works? Does the coach say “Son we’re offering you a scholarship but.:.you can’t actually accept it”?

If so how is that an offer at all? It’s not of course, and it doesn’t happen, ever.

Let me give you an example of a qualified offer though. My sons first offer came in June of last year on a trip to Idaho state, it was a legitimate offer, one he could have accepted, but it was qualified. How so?

Well ISU had already offered, and it had been accepted, a qb from Las Vegas and schools don’t generally like to sign more than one qb per year. But they knew my son was LDS and they wanted him so they told us that if he was going on a mission the he had an offer, if he wasn’t going on a mission he didn’t have an offer because there was no scholarship available for another qb for the last signing period.

So that’s an offer, a real life offer albeit a qualified one. He didn’t accept it because he did not know at the time of he was going to go on a mission or not. Now they came back later and offered him again without qualification but I think the point is clear, they offered provided he was going on a mission. It had a qualification.

At no point, and he wound up with double digit offers, did any coach say “we’re offering you but you cannot accept our offer or commit to our offer”. No one said that ever. Some of them had some qualifications, most did not have any qualifications they just wanted him and he could have accepted them at anytime.

Now what we did get some of was coaches telling us they wanted him but they were only going to offer him of certain things happened, like someone else did not commit or someone transferred, stuff like that. But they were very clear every single time of they were actually offering him a scholarship or not offering him a scholarship. There were no “it’s an offer, but not really”.

This entire “non committable offer” claim might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
