ND is free to extend offers to whomever, whenever. Prospects are free to accept, reject, or ponder til NSD. The 8 LBs offered are in the same boat Mustain was. IF the slots are filled before they're ready they won't get an ND scholarship regardless of an offer. Jevon Kearse can attest to that better than Mustain can.
Maybe, Maybe not. Those other offers are guaranteed either. Offers at other schools get rescinded as slots get filled. Urban (and others) dump verbals for better prospects. Keep in mind a number of events triggered Brian Smith's second chance. A couple of high profile recruits said NO late in the game and Minter was axed. ND has more LB offers out already this year. They appear to be in better shape with those offered. There are others eager for an ND offer and they aren't as eager as Nagel to pull the trigger.
Right now ND has 4 or 5 LB slots OPEN. All the slots are available. "If you're looking; we're looking!" |
BGIF- Everthing you said is your opinion, but you are the expert, so if you want to nitpick a comment to death, be my guest. I'm really not sure what point you are trying to make anyway, but I will point out that if you are so correct, then why in fact has the coaching staff not offered every LB out there. The answer obcourse is guys like Nagel and LeGrand would probably accept on the spot and fill 2 of the 4 or 5 slots that you say are OPEN. If you ever listen to CW talk about offers he makes, he does make them sound like committments on the part of ND, if you want to call that a "unilateral commitment" then as I said, be my guest.
Nagel has nothing to do with Smith, so again I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. Smith was told that there was no interest by the coaching staff, and so he committed to Iowa. I don't know (maybe you do) that the same has been said to Nagel, but it seems more likely that Nagel has been told that if a spot opens up at the end, he will get an offer. If he can't wait for that, then that is up to him. Oh and by the way, opinions are opinions, so don't go throwing around a BS on them unless you are willing to accept one in return.
