Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Ducks decide to go another direction and pull his scholarship...more details to come I'm sure...His facebook status claims this news...

Just read that.... I am really hoping that means Dawson is a commit. (but I am totally speculating). I can't imagine the coaching staff pulling a scholly without having another commit.

I hate that schools can just pull scholarships. I know, the argument is that kids can decommit, so coaches should be able to too. But the school can move on, this kid might not be able to. He's probably lost a lot of opportunities from other schools because of his assumption that he'd still have his offer on LOI day. Maybe there's more to the story, but if not, I really feel bad for him.

Can't imagine they would pull his Scholarship because they got Dawson or anyone else. Just couldn't see Chip doing that to a kid this late. Has to be something else going on.

Yeah I'm with you

His faceook says, "They decided to go another direction" and then later it says "its just didnt work out they change there mind"

Remember- we never know for certain whether he even had a real offer. Since schools can't comment, the public never knows for sure if anyone has a real offer- can only go by what the kid says. Some kids might mistake interest for an offer.

It's never good to offer sleepers like Wilson so early in process. Especially to pull their scholarships. I honestly feel really bad for the kid. Looks like he's taking it well, though. Good luck wherever he goes.

I don't see the information that everyone else is reading.

Where can I find this information that tells me that Wilson ever had a legitimate scholarship offer to begin with?

Has he even visited?

I'm not sure what happened..... just like everyone else.

But it sounds to me like he probably jumped the gun on the commitment. He was probably hoping for a visit.

I feel for the kid, and I hope he gets to go someplace that'll be good for him.

But there's been rumour since day one that he did not have a committable offer, so I can't see how everyone is jumping all over the coaches...

Remember he never visited so in our coaches eyes he wasn't a true commit. If I'm not mistaken, educk has said from day 1 he isn't a commit and that the coaches hadn't accepted his commit.

According to Rivals he was scheduled to visit on the 3rd of Sept., don't know if he made it.

I'm not gonna jump on the coaches for this one. I don't think Wilson was truly a "commit".

Wilson was a kid who I figured would greyshirt. It didn't make sense for the coaching staff to offer him him a scholarship considering his injury history. I hope everything works out for him. Maybe Wazzu will offer him?

I know Steve and Marty have said the coaches never accepted his commitment and they (educk staff) have stuck to story the entire time. I could be wrong on if he visited or not, but at the very least his offer was conditional. I'm guessing he knew this and that's why he is taking it ok.

That's good to hear. I'm glad we're not in the business of just suddenly rescinding offers.

Yeah he was never a commit. Thats why he taking it well, we pulled an offer from a kid who essentially had us on his list but was not a commit. I'm sure the coaches made that very clear to him all along. Still feel or the kid though, hopefully he gets on at another big time school.
