Here's a good article explaining why when a kid says he has TEN SCHOLARSHIP OFFERS, that in realty,
he may not have any legitimate offers at all....it is all in the way you look at it...

I'm very close with a lot of AAU coaches, college coaches, and players and they all agree that a lot of kids lie about their offers but it is not uncommon for a kid to have 10-20 offers, even if he is not a 5-star or 4-star. A lot of people forget that there are schools like UNC-Wilmington, Tennessee-Martin, IPFW, Longwood, and a lot of very small Division I schools that offer as many kids as they can and take the first commitment in order to get solid players.
I know two star kids that have had over ten D1 scholarship offers as it is very likely that they've been seen by a variety of smaller coaches in addition to the bigger ones. So don't always believe that hype but don't doubt the kids either.
I agree.....
But I would contend that what the article is saying, is that the "offer" might sound solid, but it is really conditional on what some other kid is going to do.
Even if the kid says "yes, I want the offer", the coach may still say, "we'll wait 'til the end of summer because we are still in a period of observation."
And, as the article gives examples, as soon as the other kid decides, the scholarship may dry up for the first kid and not be there at all.
Hey, here's a kid who claims he has 29 offers!
"Charles, who claims 29 offers..."

One more thing.....there was good news and cause for celebration over the weekend up on the Hilltop. I was up at the Bradley team camp (summer play for high school teams), and talked with a few of the players who were helping with all the games being played at Haussler & Central. PM me if you want to know more.......
