"Hey coach, your scholarship offer really means a lot to me. I can see myself at your school next season. But, another school is promising me a way to make my own name for myself. That's awfully appealing. I just can't decide yet."

Am I ahead? Behind? Too close to call?

Behind.

Funny corn, I was going to say even or slightly ahead. That one is a head scratcher.

Ahead.

Here is a e-mail that is similar but behind.

It would be an honor to play for you at UNC, but I'd also be honored to play for a couple of other schools too. I'm sorry, I just need more time.

You are ahead. I have received that and the recruit not list any other schools as being considered.

I had $70 after I got that message, and made some phone calls the next cycle. The response to the phone calls was extremely positive, schollie message didn't update... does that influence your thinking?

"My whole family has attended X and assuming no other school will 'wow' me, I intend on carrying the tradition!"

So it's the schollie message from the original post, then the phone calls yielded this, with no other schollies messages before or since.

i don't know that its definitely girt, but its EXTREMELY shady that someone with no active teams is posting this question...

I don't know the facts here, but I don't think this alone is shady. I have posted recruiting type questions under Ids with no active team before when I didn't want to jeopardize my battle by identifying myself. That alone is not evidence of anything.

How?  What possible untoward recruiting advantage could someone get out of the information from that question?

 

how bout with the other questions they sent?  some of them are now on the other forum a in the b.

Where?  And anything in a sitemail might as well not be there.  No way to see the original on a sitemail for anyone but those who it was sent to so its sorta irrelevant to begin with to proving anything.

I'm sorry, but I just fail to see how you have risen to anything above the level of innuendo here.

i couldn't care less what you think in all honesty.  my whole point here was to right a previous wrong on my part (not turning him in to begin with) AND stop it from happening in the future.  And yes, I think Girt is much less likely to try colluding (at least with people he has never previously colluded with) in the future.  So its a win from that perspective.

SO throw out an accusation, without any proof really that anyone else can vet, all of which even if it WAS from an 'alter ego' is HIGHLY open to interpretation. . . and you expect people to think of you as some sort of Philanthropist?

Call me agnostic, I have no clue what Girt may or may not be doing.  Outside of chatting on the message board, I haven't really interacted with him in recruiting. . . but what you posted here really doesn't amount to a hill of beans. . .
