Basketball Scholarship Offers

[All Blue]

 

While I am not at all shocked (I think the kid is D3 level in college), he has committed to UPike. Per his twitter a couple days ago.

Your thinking Austin Combs I believe.

If true, I apologize for the error. I may have gotten my Austin C's confused.

Future150 article says Jalen Johnson has an offer from WVU, but I couldn't find anything else to verify that.

This recruiting is a fickle game. Coaches will offer multiple kids at the same position for instance in the hope of getting that one recruit they really want but should he commit to another school they will ramp up recruiting of their #2 or #3 options. Also, you must remember that an offer to play may be extended but it may not necessarily be a scholarship offer. Confused yet? Then also from the player side a verbal commit isn't binding so they could change their mind. Nobody on either side is bound until you sign an LOI and Financial Agreement, then as a recruit, you're golden but then the school has certainty too.

 

My advice is if you have a school who's actively recruiting you and they're offering you a scholarship, investigate the school and coaches from your perspective and if you are happ, sign the LOI and Financial Agreement at the earliest possible date. Don't play poker unless you have multiple schools actively recruiting you hard. Also, if your best offer is NKU (no offense to NKU) don't hold your breath waiting on UK or Duke to make their offer.

 

Bottom line, investigate the school and Coaches (obvious criteria of academic fit, style of play, depth at your position, etc) but if you like what you see take a "free ride" at your earliest opportunity.

The article says WKU, not WVU. I am not sure if the WKU was an offer before the new coaching staff came in or after. Great player for sure, I hear he also is a heck of a QB in football. Did he play football this season?

Heard JC Hawkins was heading to Memphis this weekend to check out Christian Brothers University. Hope he liked what he saw.

He had a great visit but called the coach the next day and told him thanks but no thanks. Great school and program but just wasn't for him.
