If there is an interested 'good recruit' out there.....sign him up.
Scholarships and roster balance are always moving parts. Eggs need to be in the basket this year.
Agreed, but we have had a lot of eggs not hatch over the years and too many eggs in the basket can hurt future recruiting. My limited connection to a past recruit with many offers suggests that the number of scholarships available is a factor in who they decide to get into the process with. Fewer scholarships does not help in some cases.
