Crazy Thought.... But, What would happen?

[Anon1751594821]

This is a real crazy, out there question, but I was always wondering what would happen if ALL of the recruits that we offered scholarships in basketball to for next year, all called coach Pikiell tomorrow morning within the same hour to accept the scholarship?

Would it just work that the first ones who called to accept, get it, and the rest are told sorry but they have already been filled?(which would be obvious) I know it would really never happen, but you never know........

Best of Luck,

I’d think Pike is up front with players letting them know who has been offered. I’d think he would double back quickly if someone committed that would impact a person with an offer.

Didn't someone publically "commit" to Louisville a year or two ago but the staff didn't know about it?

This sort of thing happens at Kentucky, Duke etc. every year. Once the coaches receive the max verbals they call the rest of the recruits and tell them sorry but times up

I have zero inside information.
This is my impression - mostly from football.

Not all "offers" are the same:
Commitable vs. Non-commitable

HS GS wants to take 3WRs in a class.
WR big board has approx 15 kids on it.
You don't offer only the top 3 and wait.

You offer maybe 8.
This establishes the relationship early with the "lower recruits" in case the top offers don't plan out.

Can't just swoop in late and expect to grab someone.

If #8 WR calls Schiano and wants to commit - Schiano tells him we aren't ready yet. Maybe Schiano has a real good feeling on #1, #3 and #4 and wants to wait on those guys.

Note - I could be completely wrong.

The ones they don't have room for would get a call and the next day on Instagram would announce that they're reopening their recruitment.

Fans always argue about it.

"Mike Jones picked Rutgers over PSU!"

PSU fan: "He didn't have a commitable offer. We are waiting on higher level recruits."
