Chris Petersen's take on 'commitments' is unique

When it comes to recruiting, Washington head coach Chris Petersen has a unique take on what qualifies as a "commitment."

Christian Caple of the Tacoma News Tribune wrote about Petersen's definition of "commitment." Here's how Caple described Petersen's opinion.

Petersen then went on to explain why his definition of a commitment is different from other head coaches around the country.

“You need to know in your heart, 100 percent, that there’s not another school you want to go to,” Petersen said, per the Tacoma News Tribune. “And if you can say that, we’ll welcome your commitment. We just try to be thorough on both sides and make sure they understand what a commitment means, and how it changes our recruiting and how it should change their recruiting. We just think it makes for a cleaner, better process."
