Correct. Just wanted to look at what players we still might potentially sign with our 2 scholarships. Didn't include anyone that has already signed.

With Epps gone, do we not now have THREE scholarships?

He was a senior so his scholarship was already included in the seven for next year.

So what does offer mean? If you take it you have it but it might go away... first come first served? :shock:

You are correct. Offers are not binding and if a recruit drags his feet he runs the risk of losing his spot to another player that accepts an offer. You sometimes see good players waiting for a better offer, all the meanwhile other schools pull their offers and they end up getting the shaft on where they play college ball at.

It's dangerous to go into next season without another point guard, but I've always believed that when in doubt, go with the bigger guy .... so put me down for votes for Katuka and Kwiatkowski.

hope we can land katuka

by **smupony** » Wed Feb 21, 2007 2:56 pm

If I were a betting man, I feel our best chances lie in Katuka, Gonzalez, and Gist...We will see...It looks like Gist's best offer (in terms of competition, league, and playing opportunity) is us...The other two have some great offers to compete against...I know Coach D will get it done...
