Can a signed recruit decommit

[Cane since 1060]

From what I read he can do it but there could be penalties. What penalties would these be ?

No... he’s signed, he’d have to be released from his LOI. Your answer is in your question.

There are penalties. The recruit gets sent to the White House to eat cold McDonald's.

Ha ha my guess is he would have to sit out a year.

Didn’t this situation happen with seantrel Henderson? USC just let him go.

Are you referring to anyone specifically?

Too the early signees and if they wanted to sign with Miami for example Bogle.

He’d need a lawyer(half way joking) and a good reason . I think with the early signing period there should be safe guards for players who sign to a program and that program loses a Head coach or position coach

There was the case where the offensive lineman sent a signed LOI to Miami’s, then a short time later sent one to the Gators. This was back in 2000, and there was some controversy about it briefly. Butch released him from his Miami commit...why be bothered with it?

Bogle isn't an early signee

Good old Jon Colon. Butch ultimately let him out of his LOI and a few years later Jerome McDougle ate his lunch all day in the Swamp.. which was beautiful to see.

You have to be released from the letter of intent or wait and sign next December. Would be interesting to see a player sign at 2 different schools with one early signing day and then the other school normal signing day lol.

 

[Torocane]

If he enrolled at the school he would have to go through the transfer process.
If it’s just a signed LOI.....I think the LOI is only binding for that recruiting year. So the player would have to wait until the next recruiting year and he would be free.
I think.

That was my boy big country what happen was he signed his letter of intent the night before which was illegal and then on national signing day he had a change of heart and signed with Florida. UM then flagged his SAT and ACT test scores (which they had took care of ) and he had to go to prep school for a year then to UF.

WHoever you think is coming, he is not so no need to ask. End Thread

 

[Cane since 1060]

So nobody here knows the exact rule.

 

[Cajuncane]

They’d need someone to call them a bad name to get out of their LOI.....

The NCAA allowed USC signees to be released from their letter of intent due to the Reggie Bush Infractions. Just like they let kids transfer out of Mississippi and Baylor without having to sit out a year.
