Atbone95 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hasn't committed yet Mav. Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Sorry Mav for the confusion. Hopkins had an article that he was a "silent commit", but definitely not official yet. I'd allow voting to continue till is public. He could be wrong also. Quote Link to comment
Huskinator Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 In he year 2017.... silent commit means "I'm interested in them but want to find something better" Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 In he year 2017.... silent commit means "I'm interested in them but want to find something better" Holmes quote after he committed to UCLA tells you everything you need to know about "silent commits". They aren't worth the paper they are written on. It's a stupid concept. Quote Link to comment

They aren't worth the paper they are written on. It's a stupid concept. Agreed. Next recruiting cycle... if I hear one mention of "silent commit" I'm moving on and following the next guy we could get. We've been burnt, USC has been burnt, even Ohio state. It's a terrible trend Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Yeah, I realize he hadn't committed yet. That's why I didn't tag the thread. But I thought I'd give credit to the ones who'd already picked if it was announced in the next day or so. Either way is fine with me. As for "silent commits", that's why you need to let guys sign whenever they want. Once they're signed, they're committed. Until then...... 1 Quote Link to comment

Neither is written, so not even worth the non-existent paper they weren't written on. Quote Link to comment

They aren't worth the paper they are written on. It's a stupid concept. Neither are public verbal commits to be honest. Completely understand that. However, for someone to publicly proclaim something like a commitment, it means somewhat more than saying something behind closed doors so nobody knows but I'm still looking at other schools. The only reason someone would be a silent commit is if he still wants other coaches to fully recruit him. With a public commit, that's telling the world (including other coaches) that you plan on going to XYZ school. Big difference in my mind. Quote Link to comment
broganreynik Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 The only justified reason I can see for being a silent commit, is if you set up an announcement date but figured it out earlier. Then you commit silently and let the other schools know, so they're not behind the 8-ball. But that's also why I don't like the idea of setting a specific date. But... while I don't agree with the practice, I can also understand silent committing and then spurning the school at the last minute. Although, that practice would be better if you're announcing on signing day. That way the school you committed to is a smidgen less talented, therefore, less competition for your actual team. It makes sense, but it's also bush league. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Said he hasn't made any decision - visiting Oregon this weekend. Expecting several schools in-home in the next couple weeks. Doesn't sound like he's really close to a decision. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 I wouldn't say it's out of the question. I think guys tell different parts of the story when they're talking to reporters from different teams. But that's what he told a different reporter. For whatever it's worth. Quote Link to comment
