His tweet wasn’t specific with regard to the nature of the offer, but I assume if it had been a scholarship offer, chances are he would have immediately accepted it. So I am guessing PWO.
I'm surprised she's still uncommitted. UND was actually her first offer--three years ago. Of course, there are no staff members left from that time, and I have no idea whether there's been any ongoing communication with her.
I was agreeing with you. That strategy isn't realistic anymore, although it was for Sather when he was Northern State. But that was a different time and those days are over. That's not to say you never take a chance on a kid like Ouse, but you can't have four or five guys who you're just hoping maybe can help you in years three and four.
I'm a little more optimistic about Ouse's potential than most others on this board, but it's probably a fair point to question whether it even makes sense to sign high school players in this day and age unless you feel there's a decent chance they can contribute almost immediately. Developing a player over the course of several years was fine in the days when you could actually expect to keep him for four or five years, but obviously that almost never seems to happens anymore.
