Stephen Zimmerman to Commit Late, Won’t Sign an NLI
Posted Sep 23, 2014
Stephen Zimmerman, the 7-footer from Las Vegas Bishop Gorman, won’t commit until the spring and won’t sign a National Letter of Intent at all, his mother told SNY.tv. “It doesn’t protect the student-athlete, only the University,” Lori Zimmerman said by text. An NLI binds the student-athlete to the school, meaning if the coach leaves or is fired the player is still obligated to attend the school unless he gets a release. Some prospects ask for an addendum to the NLI specifying that if the coach leaves, the player is also free to leave.
