Looking son and parent in the eye, the head coach (as well as the recruiter) said he didn't understand players making early commitments and to not feel pressured. They had my son's SATs, his transcripts. They made weekly calls. My son thought carefully and finally called them when he was ready to commit. Answer, "We've been heavily recruiting and don't have the same offer on the table." All folks we talked to ranked this program and its coaches as honest, above board, open. We are a little stunned. when ready to verbally commit, that the offer no longer stands, that they've been recruiting and filling their roster needs?
