[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 9395, member: 231"] GT Jason said "I assume, while this thread is posing a broader question, Myles Autry is kind of who we are talking about." That is true, the Myles discussion prompted my musings. But I am not concerned about him in particular as you can make a list of the Tomlinson's, Elder's, Tuitt's, Autry's and I would treat them all the same as a policy. I don't want to assume that Autry or any kid in particular is just "milking it" due to ego when they wait to NSD. Basically, I am emphasizing trying as hard as you can to hit your optimal signing day number. Again, I am not saying CPJ does not try and do that (I assume he does actually) I am just trying to come up with the best strategy to do so and have no clue about what specific strategy he may follow. I think if you take Calvin's commitment date of Jan. 12th as a possible deadline then what you say to the elites that are waiting to the end is that after that point you, as coach, are going to be trying to make sure you hit your number so no scholly is specifically saved. Most years you will lose 1-2 in the last month to academic issues or decommitment anyway and so come NSD it will not be a problem if the elite kid does pick the Tech hat. But if you do not have any attrition then you must work out taking the elite kid as a greyshirt or once the post-signing day attrition begins. To my thinking you have optimized your chance to hit your number while making it that the only kids put at risk of being asked to greyshirt or to wait for a scholarship to come available later on would be the elite kids and NOT the lower ranked kid who was your first commit of the class but got injured (I am looking right at you Nick Saban).
