Just wondering how much of a negative recruiting impact this has on a player. There is a player I really like that's considering a D1 team now, but I think the player may just be a backup option for the coach (has several more players considering him than open scholarships). If I rescind the scholarship of one of my interested players to ensure he doesn't sign right away, what kind of negative impact will that have, if I don't end up signing the D1 player and want him back? Will I be able to make up for it by offering the scholarship back and maybe a HV or something?

Most of the time you can get the player interested again but it requires spending more money. I'm not sure of the amount; I've never done it

It doesn't have a very large impact. I offered a start and a schollie to a player a while back, then later rescinded the schollie, and the guy was still considering me afterwards. Impact is probably slim to none.

It's definitely not none. It is tangible but not huge, and can certainly be overcome.

I have done it at  D2 3 times. 2 were still considering me. After signings I reoffered the schly to the 2. They signed the next cycle. The one not considering I reoffered the schly and either a HV or CV. I don't remember which. He signed the next cycle. I also had one I rescinded. He ended up not signing with anyone. The next year as a sophomore he was considering me when recruiting began and I signed him.
