Ok, elaborate.

He requested out of his NLI. You denied.

I'm not looking for some intricate backstory.

That will be the story that gets used against Howland on the recruiting trail.

He's free to go to prep school. We just aren't going to release him from his LOI.

And I think Howland will make it. What is the negative pitch going to be? "If you sign there, and then change your mind 4 months later, Howland won't let you out of your LOI." Oh well.

Bottom line is you shouldn't get allowed to back out of your binding LOI unless a coaching change happens. No circumstances have changed since he signed. Now be a big boy and either go to State, sit out a year, or go to prep school.

He kept us from recruiting other players and took a scholarship offer away from someone that wanted to be a State. Serve your punishment.

If this was the other way, and we decided we didn't want him and denied enrollment 4 months after he signed, Howland would still be crucified.

He also requested an athletic scholarship offer to play basketball, as MSU offered. That's what voluntarily signing his name on the NLI indicates.

People will believe what they want.

If the kid wants to play next year, it should be at MSU. If he wants to go prep-school and sit a year, more power to him and I wouldn't hold it against him.
