Is the start necessary? In my experience for all players (not just guys trying to sign for $110), a player won't consider a start unless he is already considering you. The standard response is something along the lines of "thanks for the offer coach, but a start doesn't mean much unless I know more about the school).
Thus, for the $110 to work, the scholarship offer is really the effort that is getting them to consider you and the start is not needed.
FWIW, in the past, I've signed players for $110 with a call and a schollie.
