I tried to find a "thumbs up" picture, but every one I found would have come across as sarcastic.

Good news! Thanks for sharing!
 
I don't think there's any signing involved, he just enrolls. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

Enlighten me further...we don't have to sign him? He just starts taking classes and playing?
 
He is committed to us

but like they say nothing is really final until they go to class on day 1

Good deal...I was curious because it doesn't show on our recruiting page on ESPN...is that just for high school boys who sign?
 

2010 Commitments
NAME POS STATUS GRADE
R. McCar... Small Forward Signed 91
R. Brand... Shooting Guard Signed 86
T. Veal Small Forward Verbal 40
Complete Conference List

Go figure...the one time I don't check the friggin site before I post...
 
I'm surprised there hasn't been a bigger deal made out of the Toby Veal committment. Didn't Toby have offers from dozens of high major schools while in high school? Including Kentucky...or I'm I making this up?
 
for the confusion on "signing." A player can only sign 1 letter of intent which is why players who commit, but then dont make it on grades, but go the following year dont sign a new letter of intent, just their scholarship papers.

3-star according to Scout
Thanks getSmart! Several weeks ago, I found a list online of the schools that had offered Toby Veal out of high school. I was surprised by the number of high major offers. However, I'm unable to find this list today. What you list above are the schools that Toby had interest in, not necessarily the schools that had offered...correct? Perhaps I have Toby confused with someone else that I had looked up but I don't think so. Regardless, an immpressive list of schools above and we're fortunate to land him now.
 
Well at least he doesn't have to change any decorating that he may have done...just animals...
