GOSLU68 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 signs; under another thread Billikan Law said he has to pass his recruit exam; if that was not a joke-what limits RM from talking to any one he wants until he signs? He has no problems other than the usual resitrictions against interfering with another parites contract-so he could not talk to Lettter of intent kids or players already enrolled in school.
