In a nutshell ....
The recruit was considering only me but I had not offered scholie.
Informed of redshirt. Got message "Hey coach, let me say that I like your school, but I just don't think I want to sit out a year. I'm going to talk to some other programs that have been calling."
Recruit is still considering me and no one else.
Next cycle offer scholie. Get message "Coach, I just can't say yes right now...I'm still supposed to take a campus visit of another school. I should know more after that."
Recruit is still considering me and no one else.
Now last day of recruiting and well over 24 hours since scholie was offered and he still hasn't signed.
Still considering me and no one else.
Haven't done any additional recruiting. Already had significant $$ into him.
So is he ever going to sign??
