2016 Miami Commit “Keeping Options Open”

[killa1storm]

What people dont realize, is that many of these kids dont know much about other programs. Some many have early offers from other schools, but many have never been to camps at those schools or given anything a lot of thought. They get that UM offer, and its the "Home team", so they commit, as a PLACE HOLDER. They know they have that offer and spot in the bag if they want it, while they go explore other options.

Its like they are trying to line up their Senior prom date early and the ask the girl next door if she's willing to go, when she says yes, they say "cool", then as the prom gets closer, and other girls seem like they are interested, they start flirting with them and looking to dump the girl next door for whatever chick happens to be the popular girl in school at the time.

This is why none of these early commitments mean jack sh*t.

No doubt some kids use schools as place holders like that, but I'd say its the minority.

Really everbody gets mad at the recruits but its the schools fault ultimately. I mean they're offering kids in 7th and 8th grade now. Take a kid like Walton and he gets offered by Miami who he probably grew up a fan of, so he commits. But that's not gonna stop other schools from recruiting him. So you have 50 or more schools continuing to blow his phone, facebook, etc. up and visit him nonstop and each of them are promising him the world. And we're surprised the 17 year old kid is indecisive? I mean c'mon. As long as schools continue to recruit earlier and earlier and push for early commitments then you will keep seeing more of this. It's happening all over the country.
