I'm assuming "uncommitable" just means that he can only commit to one school so the rest of the offers would be "uncommitable"? .... and we aren't one of those offers?

No. It means that they really are NOT offers, because there are strings attached.

No... uncommitable is just that.... say he had an offer from Clemson (I think he did). If he called Clemson and tried to commit they wouldn't honor it. Happens quite a bit.

A staff may "offer" a guy but he could not accept the offer based on any number of conditions. 1- grades; 2- if another player does not accept who is higher on the school's list; 3- waiting to see him play live as opposed to just tape; 4- take act/sat; 5-get under a certain weight ; 6- if the player wants to play position A instead of where he thinks he should play (DB instead of QB for example). Not all uncommonly offers are The same as there could be different reasons at each school.

Ah, so how many commitable offers did he have?

From what I can tell it was only the UCF, USF and Vandy offers that he had to choose from.

Not surprised. Guy was all over the place and seemed questionable. There are better fits out there for us

Tampa WR Richard Benjamin commits to UCF, says Alvin Bailey is next

http://articles.orla...derbilt-knights

I'm fine with Benjamin committing to UCF, but I really hope that Bailey doesn't. He could have a big impact on that team.

You're right, we lost this one. However, you expect too much if you wanted to see weeping and gnashing of teeth in July. If you guys get Bailey that will sting a bit more than this one. We have done much better in Orlando than you guys have done in Tampa, but you guys may be benefitting in this case from the same thing we do in Orlando, far enough away from home but close enough to have family come and watch.

Has there ever been a time that you guys lost a recruit and it wasn't called a "blessing in disguise?"

:roflmao:

You win some, you lose some kids.

This thread is almost as entertaining as the one on your main board where you are trying to convince yourselves that we aren't rivals. The bigger the thread gets, the more obvious it is that you are correct. As we have multi-page threads for ALL of our non-rivals too.
