MISS STATE PULLS SCHOLARSHIP OFFER

[Eagle0011]

Very cut throat business and it is a business.  Wish every kid that is a D1 prospect would go through some kind of recruiting seminar.  Unless it is the school of your dreams, never commit early,  takes you off the market (though you can change and it happens all the time) but for the most part it takes you out of the picture.  The school may be bound on a early verbal, but when you commit early it does not commit the school to the amount of the scholarship and they can fall back on a preferred walk on. Happens all the time in baseball, kids commit early and then right before signing day they find out it is a walk on offer or the min of 25%.    Do research on the program, talk to other players and if possible ex-players, the only universities that you know you will get money when you commit early is Navy, Army and Air Force, everyone is on a full ride.  If a school pressures a kid to commit early, that is a red flag, if they want you bad enough they will wait. Know how many scholarships they have and how many they have offered, especially in your position.  Do your homework, because it may leave you scrambling if you don't.

The problem with waiting is if you wait too long schools will fill your position with other players who were offered as well and your offer becomes "uncommittible" or basically pulled...unless you are a blue-chip, can't miss prospect, schools aren't going to reserve a spot for you. This is another reason why football needs an early signing period...for the EE's at minimum

Football definately needs an early signing period, but only for those EE kids.

A lot of people expected him to decommit sometime during the process...he's a 2017 recruit and committed to MSU when they were his first major offer...but right before he did it he gave a shoutout to Virgil...just so he made it clear why he did it lol

Miss State sucks, so does Dan Mullen!

Agree that early signing would be the way to go.  It is a business and at the end of the day the kids are the ones who pay, some of these schools could care less about these kids, meat market.  They are salesmen.   It has been like that for years, and college sports brings a ton of money in, so will not change.

Collegiate athletics is a very tough battlefield. This is terrible for Mississippi State's recruiting in Texas though. Texas HS football is a brotherhood of a different type. And coaches talk. Rest assured this will be in the back of the mind of every coach who deals with Miss. State recruiting their kids.

This so true. I hope that screws them royally for future commits. Hopefully the other schools still have scholarships left to give out. It also stated that the recruiting was being scrutinized. I wonder if they offered something that could not be upheld without causing issues being under the spotlight.
