Are you finding it increasingly interesting on how many offers UM is making? If you breathe and play football you might get an "offer." At first I found this amusing and then I thought about the long-range ramifications. With multiple offers, UM can say to a kid "the first one to commit gets in". Doesn't that help move for a decision quicker?
 
No,,,just let kids know they have early interest and UM is smart not putting all efforts into one kid at a position...it will not speed up committs

It will speed up committs. They can put pressure on recruits saying commit now or you won't have a spot.
 
It's just the way the recruiting game is played right now. Offers are being made to players whom the coaches have never even met with yet. The top players are being offered and commitments are being accepted as sophomores. Before some of these guys even hit puberty.

On the flip side as nearly every school has seen, the early commitments only mean that the program that received the commitment only means they have an early lead in eventually getting the player.
 
Know a kid that has been offered...pressuring kids they are not doing...you start doing that you will get a bad rep in the recruiting business and rival schools will use it against you as a pressure recruitment...now it can work with a borderline kid you want ,but will not with a star or projected star
