Sure, I'd do that if it means the difference between getting a guy I really want to put pen to paper.

The big promise would be for an opportunity to win a spot.
10 6-8 minute games playing with Jackman and McGratton is different than playing 5 16 minute games between Glencross and David Jones.
If McKnight gets 5 games on the second line (counting exhibition games) and sucks then he or any other NCAA player can't complain that he didn't get a good look.
