Saw this over the weekend, a player who already verballed to a division 1
4 year college.
A JUCO coach came up to the player, knowing he already verballed, tried to convince the player to attend his JUCO instead.

Nothing new, son experienced that, so have others.
So what is the point of the post?

the point of the post is that coach is SHADY!!!!!
The "point" he was trying to make is that the coach is a shady guy!
This happens both ways. You can have a 4 year approach a kid that's signed with a JUCO about coming there instead. Like TPM says, it happens all the time Dibble.
I don't think that the coach is being "shady". If the player is likely to be drafted --- particularly a Second Day Guy --- there's a good chance he'll end up a DFE. If he wishes to pursue that route, he'll be looking for a place at a JuCo. So the coach is thinking "why not mine"?
The player isn't being shanghai'd, he's being offered an option that doesn't conflict with the rules. And any number of players with the same kind of expectations verbal to both a 4 year and a JuCo, often without letting the other school know. IMO that's shady.

This situation is not uncommon and not shady. To me, its no different than a pro team offering a contract to a player who has signed with a college.
Two different entities playing by two sets of rules offering two options. OK by me.

It is all part of the "game"
Shady is Chris Weber getting $180,000 dollars in cash from Michigan....
Nothing wrong with it at all ... NJCAA doesn't participate in the NLI process. There is nothing wrong with a players agreeing to play at a JUCO and a 4-year institution and then making up his mind at the last minute (legally, nothing wrong, ethically, it's a bit questionable).
Now, if you have two 4-year colleges, both which participate in the NLI program, College A has made an offer and the player has given his verbal commitment too ... yet College B, knowing the player has already given his verbal commitment, still goes ahead and makes him an offer .... now I've got a problem with the coaching staff at College B in that situation.
4-Year versus Juco is comparing apples to oranges. No problem there. Grades might force a player's hand or getting drafted and offered a DFE might force a players hand.

I'd say at least 90% of the Div.1 Signees from these parts dual sign with a JUCO just in case.
