Originally posted by Unregistered View PostPlease. How many variables are in this story. And how and why did it even get to this journal? The team found someone they think is better for their needs and backed out of their offer. Do you really think the kid got worse in his spring club season AND Cornell re-scouted him and said 'thanks but no thanks?'
This is why publicizing commitments for underclassmen is a joke.

Until you sign that paperwork and it is filed with the NCAA a coach can pull an offer anytime they want and can do so right up to the first day of school.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostMost coaches keep their word; so do most players. But both sides can change their minds up to the NLI signing or at any time if there is no NLI. Whether he slacked on grades or soccer or both isn't clear. Regardless you shouldn't let either slide. You're stepping up to a bigger stage next and need to be ready.

It's a one way pseydo deal for coaches to try to trap players until they find someone better. If your kid gets a better off but feels as if they painted themselves into a corner tall them to walk out, take the deal they want and not worry about it. College coaches (so many of them) are sharks. They do this for a living year after year and they know the deal. Don't be burdened by unenforceable agreements that were meant to entrap you. Coaches don't care and neither should you. They and the NCAA have set it up this way and, while the intent is to make you feel like you have a contract, they all know there is nothing further from the truth. I hope they reap what they have sown in spades and, as their top talent renegs fror greener pastures they are forced to replace them with whatever happens to be left and that these decisions kill their programs and cost many if them their livelihood. These are professional sharks dealing with amateur kids.
