Helmholdt on Wilson's commitment

Submitted by Moleskyn on

User markjko.rn posted a link to this in the Jarrod Wilson open thread, and I didn't notice anything from Tim's Hello post about this. Josh Helmholdt, from Rivals, wrote up a short commitment piece on Wilson, as well:

"The kid is rangy, he's smart and since he's been with me every time that ball is thrown in the air, if it's picked off, he's scoring," Buchtel head coach Ricky Powers said.

He is the eighth prospect from the state of Ohio to commit to the Wolverines and the ninth Michigan commitment rated four stars.

Welcome to the fold, Mr. Wilson!

If jerrod enrolls early then he will count towards the 25 scholarship limit of the 2011 class not the 2012 class, but he will still count to the all important 85 scholarship limit for the whole team. This means that even if he enrolls early there will still not be room for Clark.

An early enrollee doesn't sign an LOI, they just enroll.  By enrolling in a school and accepting the scholarship, that's enough.  You don't need to specify your "intent" if you just do it, basically. 

The LOI is only important from when you sign it until you enroll.  Hypothetically, a player could skip the LOI part and just enroll at the school he chooses in the fall.  However, if you don't sign the LOI, you have the freedom to choose anywhere, but the school you want has the freedom to fill your spot since they don't know if they can count on you.  With the exception of the shady schools, your LOI secures your spot in the class.  If the school will go as far as letting you enroll and paying for your classes, that's as secure as it gets.

you don't like Jarrod Wilson, because he's an Ohioan.  Additionally, you have no sympathy for Ricky Powers, because he resides there.  Can I escape your disdain due to documentable non-residence in Ohio for over a decade?

I don't know if you were all stupid, but you certainly seem to be now.
