And there are 12 more in the Class of 2018 - players who committed before the start of their junior year in HS. This may (hopefully) be the last year we'll see such early commitments, as the new NCAA rule should stop commitments before junior year in most cases. |

Aren't most of these early commitments worthless anyway? The kid and the school still get to change their minds? If they are saying no commitments until after the player's junior year, am all for it. |

Aren't most of these early commitments worthless anyway? The kid and the school still get to change their minds? If they are saying no commitments until after the player's junior year, am all for it. None are binding, of course, but a surprisingly high number of players who commit as sophs end up honoring that commitment. At Bucknell, I know it has been over 90%. One reason likely is that if you change your mind late in your junior year, most of the better programs likely won't have a scholarship available. In any case, it has to be tough for recruits and coaches to make a huge decision like this, when many players have yet to even play a varsity HS game. Huge questions on skills development and also physical growth. The new rule, which is supported by most lax coaches, prohibits all contact with recruits - including electronic and on-campus - until Septemer 1st of a player's junior year. At that point, visits, offers, and commitments will likely come at a furious pace - but at least that is a lot better than having most commitments come by The middle of a player's sophomore year and many coming freshman year. Once the rule is in effect, hopefully they will tweak the date further. |
