I think he'd have to be signed for us to allocate budget to that. He got his one official visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChubbyHubby Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Good point. He made it pretty clear that he plans on announcing his decision on 3/30. The waiting is the hardest part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The waiting is the hardest part. That's national signing day. So I'm not sure if he's waiting until then to sign (but still verbal us) or to announce + sign. If it's the latter, I feel that the coaching staff would know. The team can't wait until then for him. They'd need to have a backup plan like Agee.

Have you ever heard of a Verbal commit? Hence the site verbalcommits.com? He could verbal us prior to that and save the 3/30 date to SIGN for his dad, as I responded. Many of the teams on his list don’t have scholarships available and would have to wait for players to leave before he could officially sign.

I mean, I know you like to bust BB's chops, but I think that BB was just making it clear that it's the official signing day. Verbal commits aren't fully binding, and even though it doesn't happen often, especially with basketball commits, we have lost "verbal commitments" in football in the past, as recently as the Lockport kid this past fall/winter. I'm most assuredly hoping to see a post similar to Noah's for Hawk soon! Big week, let's enjoy it...Go Bulls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that he has no choice but to wait. I have heard of verbal commits. They are not worth the paper they are written on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeseph Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Let's not turn every recruiting thread into an argument about arbitrary details/word choice. We know how this process works. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
961819 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 News has been slow lately but I figured this isn’t worth overlooking. This was tweeted a couple days ago and Hawkins suddenly retweeted it today. He’s been active on twitter during that time so I have a feeling he’s close to making his decision since he randomly retweeted a tweet that’s several days old. Also going with this feeling, he posted this picture of himself with his mom at Niagara Falls. Either I’m reading too far into it or he’s giving hints.

961819 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 He also just retweeted this everyone. This is from back in January, absolutely nothing about Arkansas to be seen on his twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was waiting as long as he could, but I wouldn't be shocked if coach B made him verbal, or at least behind closed doors knew his decision. They'd have to quickly move on to someone like Agee if he picked Arkansas. It's really not "official" until 3/30 but basketball tends to hold its verbals if no major changes with coaching staffs/violations. Hawkins could still sign for his dad on 3/30.

Hopefully he heard a little about all4one, and litman’s experiences to name a couple. Life at UB can give you new family in hard times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullBoy Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Quote Signing Day is actually April 17: http://www.nationalletter.org/signingDates/index.html He is announcing on 3/30 his verbal commitment because according to that article, that date is significant for him.

I mean I agree with you! I hope the coaching staff knows though because 3/30 is a long time to wait to potentially lose others. Lots of D1 is done with basketball this weekend and can focus on recruiting while the best of us have to still play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
