The murky world of uncommittable scholarship offers

The key to Chris Petersen’s recruiting success at UW is hidden in Huskies’ number of scholarship offers

The Huskies only offered 91 scholarships for this class, which was the third-lowest among Power 5 schools. The average number of offers was 232. Oregon made 335.

Secondary program in a competitive conference.

You really think Washington qualifies as a secondary program? I was thinking thirdendary at best.

And calling the PAC Competitive is a serious stretch.

Nebraska had one of the largest year-to-year increases in offers, from 2018 recruiting class built over Mike Riley’s final season (277 offers) to Scott Frost’s first full year (422).

The disparity within this spectrum is large. Stanford’s cumulative eight-year offer total of 608 is less than half of those delivered by programs in the middle of the rankings, like Michigan State’s 1,542. The Spartans in turn sit more than 1,000 offers behind Tennessee’s nation-leading total (2,627).

In fairness to Frost, Mike Riley’s 277 offers netted Nebraska about 3 total D1 football players.

Shhhhhh.

I have no problem with "uncommitable offers" so long as it is made clear what's going on to the player. Like, "We think we'll have a spot for you but we're waiting on one other player to decide".

We should hold a draft. It would only take 6 weeks to complete 25 rounds for 170 teams.

It's almost like these schools that aren't along the coasts and have year long nice weather have to offer more scholarships to compete.

Your team lost 4 games last year. Are you really competing for anything?

A conference championship and another shot at the CFP.

I like how Clemson handles it under Dabo. There's times we miss out on kids who would have committed but we don't offer unless we are serious about taking them. An offer means something at Clemson.

The flip side of that is if you commit to us then we expect you to honor that commitment and stop taking visits to other schools.
