Boy, there's a lot of interesting reading in this thread and a lot of passion in some of the messages. I am trying to get a rock solid starting point for a spread sheet of my own. Here is what I am considering as rock solid: when I offer the scholarship in the final interval before signings begin, and I am the only school the guy is considering and have been all along, then even if he doesn't sign immediately the message I get is definitely an "AHEAD" message. Does anyone have a reason to doubt those messages as "AHEAD" messages? Thanks!
