[QUOTE="GTRX7, post: 711807, member: 1045"] The Athletic addressed a reader question today about Dabo's policy of not allowing committed recruits to take other visits. Andy Staples said that was not common but, contrary to the impression some might have, he did not view it as unfair to the recruits: "This may sound one-sided because so many deals in college sports are, but it’s really a case of two parties using their leverage to seek the best possible situation. That’s how everything is supposed to work." Staples said that when Clemson makes an offer, unlike a lot of other schools, they plan to stand by their offer and do not practice pulling offers late if bigger recruits come in or ambushing recruits with greyshirt status. He said that Clemson only offers about 100 scholarships a year, compared to other competitors that offer scholarships that really cannot all be legitimate (Georgia (267), Alabama (252) and Ohio State (206)) and some extreme schools (Southern Miss (587 in 2020) or Tennessee (490)). He also talked about Paul Johnson having a similar philosophy, but said he wasn't sure it made as much sense for Georgia Tech: "But he probably shouldn’t have because he lacked the leverage to enforce it." He cited the example of Tre Jackson, where CPJ pulled his commitment when Tre went to visit FSU after committing to Tech. First, I will just add that I am not sure Staples got the nuance of CPJ's rule correct. While CPJ did say that he did not consider kids that took additional visits to truly be committed and would not necessarily hold their place for them, CPJ did not rescind the kid's offer. The kid still had an offer and could recommit to Tech anytime he wanted. I suspect any kid that actually wanted to come to Tech did not change his mind because of CPJ's policy, it just kept recruits that wanted to use a Tech offer as one sided-leverage for other schools from hurting Tech. Also, I am curious if anyone knows how CGC handles offers? I would guess that, especially in the transition, we are probably handing out 200-300 offers like most schools, but have no idea. [/QUOTE]
