Schools offer players and place contingencies on what will need to take place before they will accept a commitment. It can be contingent on grades or on whether or not a Plan A guy accepts the offer.
I'm not sure the recruits even know 100% about the contingencies. Most of the communication with recruits is geared toward selling the program. Until they call and say "coach I'm ready to commit" they don't see much resembling a yellow flag. This is essentially what happened with Sheffield. He went to claim his Notre Dame offer by calling up the receivers coach who told him welcome aboard. So Sheffield went public with it, but upon further review Kelly said no we won't be needing you after all.
No. They don’t play the same position. We’ll take both of them if we still have room when they decide.
This is why I asked the question about Gibson's contingency offers from Georgia and Florida. Do we really know that both of these offers are contingency offers, or is that just a conjecture? And if they are contigency offers, does Gibson even know that?
I doubt anyone here has such inside info, but people look at trends. UGa and UF haven't accepted many 3-star commits at this point in the 2019 class.
Okay, I can see that with UGa, who currently has committments from 2 5*'s, 15 4*'s and only 1 3*. But Weaver is already a 4*. But really, I get your point, thank you.
Considering he didnt tweet out the official offers like he did for other schools, i am comfortable saying they were contingent.
Okay, I agree with that. My point with this is that, if I were a recruit, I would have to consider the contingency offers as a negative, when compared to other offers. Assuming that Purdue's offer was not contingent; that would have to be a big advantage, for us.
Depends on the player. UF and UGA are elite programs. If you were wait listed by Harvard, wouldnt you wait?
Regardless of the UGA and UF offers, Gibson is a long shot for Purdue.
Have you read that somewhere? And if so can you post the link?
True.
I have, but it's premium information and I'm not sure I can or should link it. I don't think Purdue is out of it, only that they're not toward the front of the line.
Kern County claimed Purdue was "not toward the front of the line". That implies multiple other schools are ahead of us. Wisky might be ahead of us but I doubt multiple other schools are ahead of us. In fact, we may be tied with Wisky right now.
Wisconsin and one other school are ahead of Purdue. Things can change, but there would have to be a big shift for him to be a Boiler.
What one other school? Florida? Georgia? It's not KY jelly. It's definitely not IU. It's not MSU. It's not Minnesota. It appears that the Florida and Georgia offers are contingent, meaning not actionable right now. I'm beginning to think you're just making this up.
Believing UGA and UF are "contingent" would be wishful, at best, and the textbook definition of "making this up".
