On August 1st every year, college programs send their official offer letters to recruits. The verbal offer from the school becomes a bit more solid. Here is an example of what Michigan sent recruits.
It's official, I will be signing on December21st 〽️📝 #BlueBloods18 pic.twitter.com/chY7xAxzv3— SPIDER (@simsmyles) August 1, 2017
Please note the 3 bullet points on the offer. These are clear ways a program can back away from a player that might have issues in the classroom or issues on or off the field.
What is new about this years offers is, kids can use the early signing period to stop the recruiting process from other programs even if they are not enrolling in January. Myles Sims who received the above letter will officially sign on December 21st.
Side Note: ECU sent out pirate scrolls, which is a pretty cool idea.
- The NCAA made a UCF kicker pick between his YouTube channel where he makes money or playing college football. He picked the YouTube channel and the NCAA made him ineligible. The NCAA will need to wake up because this issue is not going away and will only get larger.
- Every year they have this article where Big 10 coaches speak anonymously about other programs. This was the time when former Purdue head coach Joe Tiller would make some stupid comments about Michigan (please note, we only assume it was Joe making those comments). This year it seems Michigan got a couple good remarks. This is my favorite as it goes to the strong off the field staff that Jimmy has hired: "They’re scouting opponents better than anyone in our league. They’re at Alabama’s level of prep and analysis, and as they’ve started to fit talent you’re seeing the effects. It’s hard to surprise them." When Jimmy can rely on his staff to scout and help game plan for opponents, he and his on field coaching staff can spend more time developing the Wolverine players.
