Strangely enough Georgetown just re-offered right after BC and Seton Hall Is it possible that because he had committed to Rutgers they have to re-offer? That would make sense. We also don't know the level of our original offer.

That would be interesting. So someone thinks that Mac joining us would override the view that Boyd would be best served by leaving the DMV?

Guys, don't forget Antwan Walker is Team Loaded and good friends with Kiyo... Maybe All-Met knows something or is just thinking that Boyd coming here just makes sense. I wouldn't read too much into it tbh...

I'm curious, there is a mention earlier regarding "the level of our offer". Who know what the levels of an offer are?

I'm curious, there is a mention earlier regarding "the level of our offer". Who know what the levels of an offer are? Why are there fractions? Most NCAA varsity programs are equivalency sports which means awards can be split into partial scholarships in any proportion up to the maximum allowed. For example, an NCAA Division I school can allocate a number of partial athletic scholarships equivalent to 11.7 full scholarships in any proportion among, say, 25 baseball players. www.scholarshipstats.com/ncaalimits.htmlI'd be a little surprised if this occurs in D-1 basketball but I guess it's possible. Someone with greater knowledge of D-1 basketball scholarships feel free to contradict. (My niece attended VCU on a partial scholarship (described to me as a "half" scholarship) to play D-1 soccer at Virginia Commonwealth University). (EDIT: On re-reading, I think the above is wrong. The chart indicates that men's basketball is a "head count" sport not an "equivalency sport" so there would be no partial scholarships in D-1 basketball) Thus, I conclude the comment about "level of offer" was a sarcastic reference to the Adidas scandal re: basketball recruitment).

I think the "level" remark just meant whether it was "committable right now" or "offer of a scholarship contingent on someone else's decision" etc. There seem to be various levels of seriousness in terms of these offers.

Thanks for this clarification. If I received a contingent offer as a D-1 prospect, wouldn't that signal to you that you aren't that team's first choice and make you less inclined to accept? Or I guess the calculus for a prospect, "I'd rather be the Hoyas's second choice and at the end of the day accept its offer, rather than be the first choice of, say, Rutgers, and accept right now."

I would like to get him not as much for his highlights but because he seems to be a really good athlete who seems to want to get better and would probably be fun to play with. Moldable, in other words, but with his own thing going on. I like the potential.

Calculated risks on both sides. One more reason that recruiting can be a tough game to master.
