Unless I'm mistaken, Thurman Woods has only given a verbal to the Griz? He's being pursued by a whole bunch of solid programs who will only increase their intensity to get the kid to sign with them when the official signing period begins next month. I think it's very dangerous to shine the spotlight on a prospective player who may draw more attention than ever. Heaven knows, Tinkle's casual attitude is not shared by Hauck who practically has to see a recruit in class before he's willing to acknowledge he is a Griz. :?:
Tinkle has had nothing to do with Woods announcement. By NCAA rule Tinkle can not. I would also like to point out that Woods commitment is on at least 3 recruiting web sites. While it is true that there is nothing preventing another school from recruiting Woods, at this level most coaches once they hear a kid has committed the pretty much stop recruiting him, mainly for monetary reasons. They mat spend a few bucks on phone calls, emails, or mailings most do not want to waist limited resources on a kid. I would also like to say that that I would bet a minimum 95% of all kids who commit with in 4 weeks of the signing period end up signing. Of that remaining 5% I would say most of those do not for really out of the ordinary reasons coach quiting (like what is happening at Arizona right now) of eligibility issue.
Nothing is written in stone but this looks pretty solid.
