"In his 17 years as the basketball coach at St. Raymond’s High School in The Bronx, Gary DeCesare estimates that 20 of his 35 players who committed to Division 1 schools never signed a National Letter of Intent.
Instead, DeCesare advised them to sign scholarship papers only because he is staunchly opposed to the NLI.
“I’ve never encouraged kids to sign a National Letter of Intent because what a lot of parents don’t know is that there’s two pieces of paper,” DeCesare, who now coaches at St. Rita’s in Chicago, told SNY.tv. “One is the National Letter and one is the scholarship papers, and the National Letter binds you to the school, the scholarship papers binds the school to you.”
