This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Bueckers, Clark by dillon77

Probably have, but until a name is on the line for the requisite signing period, I don't consider anything a done deal.

I've read a few printed reports and/or gotten a few e-mails that we've offered Bueckers (like the one below) but have not seen media reports of actual offers on Clark (zounds of interest), although it's a pretty good bet we've done so.

Nonetheless, offers or commits either way are verbal and nothing binding until the signing period. And for these 2020's, that's November 2019, which is eternity in the life of a teenager.

So there's a lot of need to "keep" prospects continually interested. Kind of like a "retention" campaign, no?

As we've (maybe) seen with the Brunelle situation, there can also be situations -- depending on whom you believe -- when a school can change it's mind. Or when a player and school have different opinions on commitment?

Because of the numbers involved, this happens a boatload in football, but I can imagine it happening to teams that offer scholarships early and often.
