You are not wrong but I can understand some getting a bit anxious when other schools are 15+ at this point and 75% of the Top 100s have verballed (I know it is not binding) so I can get some questions. I don't really care but this ultimately needs to be a Top 15 class minimum off average player rating, not overall

Agreed. I think if we get to September with 8 or less commits, I'd be concerned.

I'm not going to claim to be an expert here, so perhaps someone who is a little closer to today's recruiting landscape can educate me, but I've been asking the same question for years.

Truly, what are the kids gaining or not gaining by these supposed "silent commits"? To me, you're a literal side chick. "Sure baby, you're my girl, but we just can't tell anyone about it. No no, don't post that. I love you too much to let the world know. Yeah, I'll be over later. On Christmas? Oh no, sorry, I'm working. But we can have our Christmas the next night, OK baby?"

You're a side hoe. I can see like a couple hours, or a day. If you want to get an edit made (as a grown man it's difficult to type that, but I get it), if you want to tell your family, something like that. But weeks? Months? I'm sure I'm missing something here, and I'm genuinely not being a smart ***, but what does a kid like Shemar Stewart, as a generic example, gain or not gain by telling Manny he's committing but not telling anyone else. Is it really that big of a state secret? Does he want to be able to go to other places and get paid for visits? And if so, is Manny letting silent commits take visits but not public commits? This all seems so silly.

The whole process of recruiting, lying, begging, conniving, attention whores, handlers, silly rules and bags is just atrocious.

If a silent commit decommits and no one knew he was silently committed, did he actually decommit?

If I was a git with a senior year of highschool to enjoy/build clout in, why the F would I blow the most hype thing to happen to me this far in my life in the dead of summer. I'd rather drop the news when school is starting back up and ride the clout/love/chicks that come with it.

Nahhh what am I saying, I should announce when the guy sneaking onto forums during his 9 to 5 wants me to.

I've been saying I expect us to have 7-10 kids committed by Labor Day. That said, the real indicator of problems isn't simply how many kids we have committed. What matters is whether and how many of our targets have committed elsewhere. If that starts happening, there is real cause for concern.

Like even public commits mean anything most of the time.

People that sweat this either way have too much time on their hands, and not enough important things to worry about.

Sure, in every class, there’s a couple of guys that you know are solid, class ambassador types.

But as far as most of them, the only thing that matters is…

…and that’s not until the end of this year.

15+ might be **** near our whole class. Also I checked, only 3 schools (ND (16), Baylor (18) and BC (19)) have 15 or more recruits committed out of the top 50.

Personally, I thought we would have SOME pop at paradise camp, it usually is fruitful for us. But we have a lotttt of targets with commitment dates in July. If we do not have a good July and we roll into August with still only 3, I think more fear is justified. I do not think that happens, I think we have a great July.

Sure, I hear you, I also hear the people who have some concern with only 3. Like you I expected a few more than we have but ultimately a class with a Top 15 Avg Player Rating is a success in my book. We wiff on all the names like Gibson, Horton, Wilson, Stewart, Wesley B, etc well then I am not happy.

Staph has been lied to many times about silent commits, especially ones waiting until signing day. He should ignore them, not save a spot for them and explain there is no such thing as a silent commit.
