Tyler Green decommits

[WANG]

I go back to what I said in my reply to Cincy.

Then NCAA needs to make a rule that ALL offers are committable immediately, the kid can sign that day and if he DOES sign then the school MUST honor the scholarship (also all scholarships are 4 year guaranteed).

That would help IMO.

Read yesterday we has more offers out than scholies, so expect some more of this.

Meh. Every school has more offers than spots.

He had offers out to Harris, Scott and Weber. Wants to take 1 RB. Three offers for 1 spot. First commit wins. Weber committed. Other two are on the outside looking in. They like Harris enough to take him if he decides late, but Scott wanted a deal for his little brother to get a schollie, too. Not OSU level. So, Scott is going to MSU.

Other offers are to guys they know they have no shot at . . . a kid commits to a rival, you offer just to tweak the other guy. Urban still does this to Saban (and vice versa).

Finally, there will be attrition. There always is. At least 1 frosh lineman is leaving. Another may never play because of a serious, recurring injury. I would be shocked if a running back didn't transfer as well.

The numbers will work out. They always do.

Oh, and for the past few years Ohio State has signed players to 4 year schollies, so no one can be pushed out if they want to stay. The problem is, some kids think they can play but don't put in the work. Brionte Dunn has been that guy, but is finally starting to get it. But, if they don't put in the work, they are told they aren't going to play. If they want to play, they go elsewhere.

It is what it is.

It's actually been a B1G policy for a while that all scholarships are 4 year scholarships (for at least a decade I am pretty sure). I love that the B1G does this and think it should be an NCAA wide rule.
