You newer fans don’t get it. You think Miami is a toilet program with nothing going for us so you’re willing to get toyed with and **** on by 17 year olds.

We need to set a tone here. Clemson doesn’t have decommits because they’ve made their offer valuable. And isn’t valuable only because they win. It’s also valuable because if you accept the offer there are conditions tied to it such as not taking visits elsewhere or “keeping things open” after committing.

I’ve got no problem with accepting an early commitment, but the kid needs to understand what the word “commitment” means. Explain clearly to him that if he commits he needs to shut it down, and if he’s not ready to shut it down, then he’s not really ready to “commit” because commitment, by its definition, means you’re entering an exclusive relationship.

Explain that we will keep his offer open and continue to recruit him hard until he is either ready to make a real solid commitment or someone else is. That’s it.

It really is as simple as this, stop letting kids toy with us. And like Chise said it doesn't mean you don't accept the commit, but you let the kids know what it looks like to be committed and if they're not ready for that hold off.

What makes you think the kids won't say "yes I understand" and then leave in the fall anyways?

Your reading comprehension level is in the crapper - no one said a damned thing about December - but you.

See, when one has a simple mind - if you keep your mouth shut - no one will know just how dumb you really can be.

Just trying to help you.

" You can accept commitments near the signing period "

And im the dumb one? Ya man that a smart strategy. Turn down these kids commitments
 
Winning reducing the number of commits who later decommit.

The current issue isn't accepting early commits - it's losing to HS teams.

Hopefully the new coaching adds plus the new players coming in can propel us to winning almost all our games.
