Word is that Utah has offered....

[Hot Lunch]

Read the note... its says what she says it says.

I read the note. It doesn't say what she says. Nowhere in that letter is a scholly offer. It says they can't formally recruit him but no where in the note is a scholly offer waiting for him. So no MRD, it doesn't say what she says it says. You obviously haven't read it.

Read the note... its says what she says it says.

Here is what it says

"Congratulations on your football success! Due to NCAA rules we cannot formally recruit you until September 1st of your Junior year. However, we are permitted by the NCAA to send you a questionnaire so we can monitor you progress. If you would like additional UCLA information, please visit our website at www.uclabruins.com.
We hope to hear from you within NCAA rules by receiving your biography form."

So please point out the scholarship offer in this personal letter.

Boys, take it easy here. To distract you, tell me which of these is the geekiest:

1. recruting the stalkiest kid in a football family;

2. posting about it on a blog in fractured syntax with photo of said kid leering at the reader;

3. arguing stridently about what the handwritten recrutiment related letter actually says/means;

4. trying to calm down the argument.

That is a form letter that they send out to anyone everyone that has the chance to be a potential recruit.

I just want MRD to post that he doesn't know what the hell he is talking about with this one. That is all.

so you vote for number three?

Good Luck with that. He has red goggles on, just wait until this kid ends up at Utah (like the rest of the family) and we hear all about how he had an offer from USC and UCLA at 13!

Yep!

I'm not sure why you are arguing so heavily about this. They make it clear they can't officially offer a scholarship and yes they do have a questionnaire. From her blog post she makes it seem like he has an non technical offer as a real offer would be against NCAA regs. Back to the original portion of this thread about offering to The Colllie Kid. A kid whose brothers are Utah players has been offered by a byu coach. This is according to the youngest Kruger's sister he has had a verbal (NOT a Technical VERBAL OFFER) offer from Bronco saying there will be a scholarship for him available.

Personally I could care less about who offers who. I was just putting out a point that kids who are "destined" to play at a school receive offers from the school's rivals.

I think he is arguing the point because you are completely wrong. Nowhere in that letter does it say "If you were of age we would offer you a scholarship and as soon as you are old enough to be legally recruited we have a scholarship waiting" Those letters go out to thousands of kids each year. I am sure Ted Nugents son has seen hundreds of them. Attend one camp as an 8th or 9th grader and you will get 50 of those letters.

In no way does that have anything to do with a schollie offer and to say it does is ridiculous.

WOw, I had no idea option three would be so popular.

You are the one saying he has an offer. Here is what she said about it in the blog

I said to myself this kid is in eight grade this has got to be a mistake! I open the letter because I was so curious and in it is a hand written letter from the UCLA coach! Saying Mark, we can't officially recruite you now but please know there is a full ride scholarship waiting for you and we will be recruiting you as soon as you are of age etc etc! I

You told me that the letter says what she posted in the blog. It isn't even close. They didn't even mention scholarship in the letter. Nice job changing your argument though.

Honestly I had never blown up the picture to read what was said until ten minutes ago. I just went off what was said in the blog where she clearly states he was offered.

Fine I was wrong... The letter never says he was offered.
