So the coach of a instate power 5 conference team drives down to your high school after keeping up with you for a few years, tells you he is very interested in you coming to his school and playing for you, offered you a free ride to college to play for his football team. A school that you say you have always wanted to go to. And that is not enough? WTF man

I think you are too caught up in recruiting to see how fricked up that is

I am well aware of the fricked up things in recruiting. I also understand that it's not as simple as you have described. Auburn has "offered" 193 players. Not all 193 of those players can commit right now. Hawkins appears to be in the not committable offer part of things. More than likely he has to camp at Auburn or meet certain grade/athletic goals or wait for other names to go off the board. Is that an actual offer then? I don't think so but that's the lingo used today

Basically the kid wants a commitable offer and feel like the coaching staff actually wants him. If I am going to spend the next 4 years somewhere I would want the same. There's a lot of fricked up stuff with recruiting (committable/non committable offers being a big one imo) and no doubt things are just stupid now but a kid wanting some sort of communication with a school that he likes and supposedly has offered is not one of them
