FSWho offered him even later then we did, it says Jan 3rd. Granted I agree he should have had an offer a LONG time ago, but the late offer excuse for him to not come here would be out the window when he just picked up the Criminoles offer 10 days ago
That blows up the whole “slow play” theory.
If Chatfield wants to be a Canes he was offered plenty early enough to be a Cane. The narrative of him practically dying for a Canes offer and the thought that he’d commit quickly after receiving one were both false.
I always point to a dude like Bandy. Bandy was flat disrespected by our prior staff. He was a Cane though, so he grabbed his spot.
Chatfield was never disrespected. We evaluated him over time and eventually offered. Not every player will be offered out of the womb.
Reminds me of the old quip: You know what they call the guy who graduates last in his medical school class? Doctor. You know what we call a guy who was offered in October of his senior season and signs his NLOI? A Cane.
