How can you favor a school that hasn't even offered you a scholarship?

We are a fall back school for this kid.

... He is from a BIG TIME program Slidell down there. When Novak had those good teams and they would play the BCS schools he tell the guys...... Most of you guys wanted to be on the other sideline today, but you are not. Go put and Prove they made a mistake. Its no surprise a kids dreams would be to play in the SEC and he would favor them, but if and when reality sets in we will have our shot.

Does anyone think we are going to beat out Tenn/Auburn for a Southern kis who is iffered by them? Seriously, do you?

NO.

But while we waste time, money and energy recruiting kids like this, we are losing out on the ones that are signing with other MAC teams. When He commits to another team, we will be left with nothing then we will look around and see that WMU, CMU and other MAC schools have more verbals from the Chicagoland than NIU has. We might not have offered any of the verbals from WMU or CMU but they got verbals from the guys they wanted. We are losing out.
