Lots of schools are pressing kids to commit now to save their spot because of the uncertainty of the season with C19.
They're pressing the issue to build momentum in their classes, but what you should know is it's still very early & no games have been played, which means once visits are allowed on campuses & once the season starts whenever it does, a lot of these same kids are going to decommit because they committed under pressure without fully exploring their options.
The 2 main things we need to do 1) is continue to recruit our targets regardless of whether or not they gave early verbals to another school & 2) Win & have a good season once games are played.
If the season goes as regularly scheduled, if we win 10 games this year, we'll be in it for a number of recruits who everybody is pulling their hair out over now because they gave an early verbal.
It will fall on deaf ears, but those of you who have followed recruiting for longer than a season or 2 should know this by now... It's never over til it's over & verbals in Feb-August are not final.
Crootin' season starts in Nov-Jan, we still have plenty of time to pull some good targets.
