quote:
"They talked to me and told me I'm their No. 1 guy at defensive end," Bates told Taylor Hamm of 247Sports. "There are three DEs on the board but they said that the offer was mine but that, if I was not going to take it, they were going to offer their No. 2 guy. If he doesn't take it, then [the offer] is still good to both of us after that."

Bates didn't jump on it, so now Taylor Hammbone says the offer no longer exist.

quote:
Just for clarification purposes, Bates no longer has an offer since he didn't commit.

Now he apparently can commit at a different time

quote:
Bates told me A&M wanted him to commit. If he didn't, the offer was going to their next target. Therefore, since he didn't commit, his offer is not longer on the table at this time. However, that doesn't mean he won't have another opportunity to commit at a later time.

hamm is just making it really complicated. this is how I understand it

"hey Jalen, we have this spot to fill and you are at the top of our list. we want it filled right now"
"thanks coach, but I don't think im ready to end the process at this moment in time"
"we understand, I hope you understand that this means we have to move on to the next person on our list"

Hamm said/did something incredibly stupid? Just sounds like a typical Wednesday.
