    Aubbie called his dad and told him that he could build a new church.

    He wanted to wait & sign in February. Likely to continue to enjoy the recruiting process. The staff wanted him to sign in December. Gave him a you're either in or you're out & well we see he's uncommitted now.

    If a player is committed and doesnt sign in December he is not committed.

    True, but no real reason to force the issue unless you have somebody else as good ready to sign in his place in December.

    Not sure we the type of program to make these type of demands, but at least you have time to replace a kid rather than lose them at the end

    I don't really agree but they've been pretty consistent on this method. Did the same last year.

    I have no say in the matter, but how are you to move forward as a program with a cloud of indecision hanging over your head. Early signing period is there for a reason, it lets you know what you have and what you need. I am all for them pushing their commits to early signing. If you don’t sign in December but have been committed prior, we’re you really committed in the first place? You treat it like you are in or not, if not, good luck to you and we will fill your spot with someone who is. Builds your team and helps you truly plan for the season because you know what you have.

    I'm fine with the "shit or get off the pot" strategy as long as you replace him with someone of equal talent.

    East was pretty good though, so that won't be easy.

    I would say it depends upon how you feel about others you are recruiting. If [B]you[B] feel ok then you say bye.

    You being the one being paid 5 mil.

    He's not signing in the early period. I expect his recruitment blows up after the early signing period. OL still available after the ESP are like gold. He'll have plenty options.

    Hate to lose out on any good OL but did we really have him if he won't sign. Leach seems like a no BS kind of guy so if you commit he expects you to sign. And I can understand that. He may treat the situation a little different if he hadn't committed but wanted to wait till Feb. When East did what he did( commit but not sign) that just sounds like you are keeping us as a fallback plan while really looking for a " better option" in his opinion. I don't think I would put up with that either. I could respect him more if just never committed and explored all options and chose a school in Feb.

    It is much better strategy to sign a slightly less talented player in December then sign no player for that position in February because one of our ?commits? wanted to enjoy the process. I like this policy.

    I don't understand why anyone would want to be at the whims of a high school kid. If he doesn't want to sign now, then tell him we are going to have to look elsewhere. The egos on the kids now are horrible. Way too many people on social media flaming those egos these days.
