Does anyone know for sure?


good question.

Whatever happened to the kid who sued Hawaii because they didnt honor the offer June's staff made once he left?

My guess is you can withdraw at any time just as the kid can decommit at anytime even if he wrote it down. If you want to stay out of trouble, just withdraw it in writing.

They are non-binding until the LOI is signed especially when a kid is waffling

But here's one addendum as it pertains to QB Conner Preston.

He will be enrolling at SMU (Jan. 18) before the signing day (Feb. 2). If memory serves, he can't sign his LOI until Feb. 2. But he still must sign it on that day. However, he can sign -- or probably already did -- something like a athletic aid form or something like that.

Stallion probably knows what it's called.

didn't we recently deal with this with a kid who committed to Bennett that JJ didn't honor the offer? tyler i think. if i remember the tyler coach said he'd never let us talk to another tyler kid again. (i think we have since gotten a commit from them)

that kid went to Tyler Lee. Our Tyler guys are from John Tyler.

He wound up at Tx State (the DT who JJ said no thanks to)

Ralston Dews was the kid from Tyler Lee, we have since gotten 2 commits for Tyler John Tyler (2010-Jeremy Johnson, Ricky Collins).

Yep-Yenga is not even in the Commitment Hall of Fame-which most prominently includes Ronald Morris and Hart Lee Dykes who each committed to 4 different schools. The RB Gone-a-way at Baylor has committed to 4 schools but it took him 2 separate recruiting years. Yenga has just committed to SMU 3 different times. But I won't count my chickens until one of you guys confirms that Yenga has changed his Facebook status to "In a Committed Relationship"

Who cares, let him visit. If you aren't going to take advantage of free trips to go see the country and new schools, and be wined and dined, you're a moron. June shares that sentiment as he openly tells his recruits to go take your visits and make sure you want to be here.
