Read this article on South Pointe’s Steven Gilmore. He came into the 2017 season w/ several offers from Power 5 schools, now he has none. He apparently waited for offers from bigger schools, and lost the ones that he had due to procrastination. I saw him play against Shelby, and the young man was hellacious as both a receiver and defensive back. Surprised he’s in this predicament.
I have known of some prospects here in Cleveland County that had offers from FCS schools. They sat on the offers, only to lose them, and ended up on the D2 level, or no where at all. They were waiting on ACC schools, bigger offers, apparently having a false sense of what level of a recruit they were, having the wrong people in their ear, not making a timely decision, and taking advantage of the opportunities that were already presented to them.
Don’t claim to know much about recruiting, but it appears that if a prospect isn’t a four or five star recruit, he doesn’t have the luxury of waiting on bigger offers, and needs to make a timely decision, and secure that scholarship.
