This just is not true.

How then do you think I posted this first

I learn this from a close friend of the family he showed me text from Shea there were at least 10, a lot more were interested.

This just is not true.

well, a couple of my own kids have gone thru the recruiting process - not DI, but it's pretty much the same at all levels, and we were told numerous times that if it's an offer, it will be in writing - maybe initially it could be verbal but at some point if they really want you they offer in writing...
I suppose some coaches may offer verbally or by phone or text, then not followup with anything else, but those are the offers that wouldn't be solid enough for me to put my house on the market and move just yet...
Verbal comments to kids like ...
"we will be tracking you and if you show continued improvement, or if you qualify with your SAT score,
or if anyone on the roster leaves, or we are waiting for 1 or 2 other open offers to decide....
then a spot will be available for you" - are common but not real offers, but a lot of kids might count those situations so as to inflate their number of offers.

In the end, nobody really knows - it is between the coach & the recruit and the real meaning or intent of the communication is determined by the one making the statement or offer and not by the one hearing it...

again, I have no direct info but some thoughts on scholarship offers

but Shea Feehan does announce for Evansville

Glad to have Shea with my Aces. Yes he may be slight, but he will hopefully provide some leadership to a now very young Aces team. Cautiously optimistic on the players that Coach M has signed, but know that it may be tough the next year or two. Tough when you sign so many this later in the period, but on paper it looks like he did about as well as could be expected. He has also upgraded the schedule quite a bit.

As far as offers, nobody really knows. Too many schools fans use the excuse that "we cooled on them" or "we really didn't offer" to save face or to make themselves feel better. Having a very close family friend who plays D1 right now in a strong mid-major, I have personally witnessed coaches saying "if you sign now we will give you an offer". When he asked to think about it the response was "if you do decide to come we will extend the offer again". This was just last year and included a few Valley schools that took that approach. I don't put a lot of credence until the player actually signs and the offers are made known in the media releases.

Shea Feehan played for Eureka college last year averaged 30.6 ppg is a tough kid .
Graduated early is looking to transfer to get his Master's.
He was thinking about DePaul but heard his parents would like him to go to BRADLEY.
44% from 3
87% FT

Looks like Shea is committing to Evansville. He had at least 10 D1 offers
I think many people will be surprised how good this kid really is.
Hopefully he doesn't hurt B.U. when we play them.

Both Evansville & Drake will be undergoing major rebuilding next season. Too bad he isn't going to a winning program. He is an incredible shooter who could help a lot of good programs. Most of his shots were on the move, heavily guarded, falling away, or from many feet behind the 3-point line and yet he shot 44% from three. Yes, it was Division III, but that is still a rarity to find a kid with that kind of shooting skill.

The problem is that he can't guard anyone. Way too small.

When is the date that players have to make a final decision on whether they are staying in the NBA draft or withdrawing their name? It seems like a lot of teams have open scholarships and I thought maybe there was consideration that some of those guys will back out and need a spot to play next year. Whether that is signing one of those guys directly, or seeing if a player will be booted off scholarship at their school to make room, there might be players available later than usual.

Just a random thought that popped up that I am ignorant on. Figured DC or someone else on here might have a better understanding on that front.

For those who declared and did not hire an agent, the deadline to withdraw and retain eligibility is May 30.
Most, if not all of those who will withdraw are still committed to the school they last played at and must return there unless they get a release. If they obtain a release, they could transfer but would have to sit out a year.

Shea is 99% going to either Evansville or Drake, per a source.

I just call their arena ???The Mecca???.

Good job on them for the rebranding. Too bad nothing else has gone right. They??™re in disarray. Lucas might regret going home.
