[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 164695, member: 2299"] Never back out? We have pulled scholarship offers multiple times, including with Jackson. Sorry but taking a visit doesn't constitute decommitting. The commitment is to play football here, and visiting another school doesn't break that committment. You can visit, and still play. Well, unless your offer gets pulled, but then that isn't on the player. Also as regards to the keep looking. We never stop looking. We never stop recruiting other players at the same position. It should be if we don't stop looking, and we don't, why shouldn't they? Even more so when the decision is far more important to the athlete than to the school. And for the love of god spare me the tech material spiel. We've taken guys who backed out of commitments at other schools. We've heralded guys who turned out to not be able to cut it academically, either before or after getting in. We've taken guys who went on to commit crimes, be bad team mates, etc. NOthing Jackson has done, either in highschool or college, lends any support to the idea he isn't tech material. If he still had an offer from GT, a place he had been committed to for a long time, then walking away from a visit to FSU, especially so late in the process, without a scholarship offer would have made a huge difference, and he likely makes his decision to stay before FSU ever got back to him. Instead, because we revoked the offer, he really had no choice but to wait, or at least no compelling reason not to wait on his other offers. [/QUOTE]
