What do the recruiting people call a "Soft verbal" ?


Thanks

It basically means that the committed party will come here if this is what he considers his best option.

So in the case of Mr. Jernigan, it probably means, "Yeah, I'll come to Troy.......unless Auburn offers me a scholarship. Then I'll go there."

They are listed as "soft" when they are visiting other schools.

Both socrgoly and opetradamous are correct. A soft verbal usually means that he is committed to a school unless he feels like a better option becomes available. That usually means that the player is making visits to other schools and looking for something better.
