Coach: “We’d love to offer you”
Recruit: “Thanks coach, that means a lot!”
Then the recruit hangs up and tells the whole family he got an offer.
Weeks later he tries to commit.
And the coach says the spot is gone.
Or that it was never a committable offer in the first place.
Now he is confused, hurt, and behind.
Here is what nobody told him.
You need to ask these 3 questions when you get an offer:
First: “Is this a committable offer?”
If the answer is no, you have interest, not an offer.
Good to know now instead of after you turn down other schools.
Second: “How long is the offer on the table?”
Offers have expiration dates.
Most recruits never find out until the spot is filled.
Third: “What are the next steps from here?”
This tells you if the coach is actually moving you forward or just keeping you warm.
Three questions.
And you go from guessing to knowing.
Do not let one excited moment cost you the truth about where you stand.

Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. devoted his life to lifting people in poverty, the marginalized, and those pushed to society’s edges. Through Operation PUSH, he pushed barriers and opened doors so Black people and other excluded communities could step into opportunity and dignity.
With the Rainbow Coalition, he cast a bold vision of an inclusive society—uniting people across race, class, and faith to build power together and expand the table of economic opportunity.
He was a gifted negotiator and a courageous bridge‑builder, serving humanity by bringing calm into tense rooms and creating pathways where none existed.
My family shares a long and meaningful history with him, rooted in a shared commitment to justice and love. As we grieve, we give thanks for a life that pushed hope into weary places.
May we honor his legacy by widening opportunity, uplifting the vulnerable, and building the Beloved Community.
I send my love and prayers to the Jackson family.
