@MaLiKK_5: Coach Ollie and his UCONN staff has called and offered me! #uconn #huskies
He's a major riser from this spring.
We must have dozens out there.But how many offers do we have out there?
What if a player accepts, are we committed to him? You know, one less schollie/player.
Are you being serious or kidding with that last remark?We must have dozens out there.
I don't believe you can just retract offers once they've been accepted.
At last count, from a thread not too long ago, I think we had offered 36 or 37 for an anticipated 4 spots. Been involved in these discussions before with my opinion gradually devolving into "the recruiting business blows."I am not a follower of recruiting (i.e. offers) and am somewhat ignorant of how it all works. But how many offers do we have out there? It seems we add one or two a week.

These days, an offer is granted so early in the recruiting process that there is basically a 0% chance that it will be accepted right away. Everybody offers early, so if you don't, the player might think "you don't want him" as badly as the other schools do. Some schools differentiate themselves by only offering in person when a player is visiting campus, but most places hand out offers all over the place.
But this doesn't create that much of a problem. There may be some guys that Ollie offered months ago but if Uconn is no longer actively recruiting that player, he isn't just going to call up Ollie out of the blue and say "Hey coach, I know we haven't talked in 3 months, but I accept!" To use another example, I would bet that Ollie is telling Newman, Briscoe, and whoever else that he can only take one more guard in this class now that Adams is on board. So if Newman commits tomorrow, all of those other guards are probably out of luck - even though they all still technically have offers to Uconn.
