Guest momof2hornets Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Definitely!!! congratulations to you. You guys had a great season.I'm just curious as to some other opinions than what I've already heard.... What good exactly is a verbal commitment from a kid or should I say for a kid? There is no guarantee right? It kinda tells everyone else to back off he has made a decision right? Just asking opinions on this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's other's know he has made a decision and hopefully other recruiters will stop calling.However, if it is a kid someone else really wants the calls may still keep coming. For a coach receiving a verbal commitment it kind of tells him where he is scholarship wise if the young man keeps his commitment to national signing day. Lamar signed four juco's in December, this is their sixth commitment so if everyone stays on board that tells me we have 12 other scholarships available come Feb. Lamar had 22 scholarships to start with.Here are some other verbals for Lamar.

The athlete has the right to change his/her mind at any time before signing a NLI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I hope the coaching staff is working the Houston and other metro areas of Texas pretty hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
