i think this word needs to be totally thrown out of college recruiting. these kids that throw out "commitments" and then turn around and go to another school after saying they were "committed" to a school. used to, if you committed to someone, you looked at that commitment as a sign of your integrity that you are going to stay loyal to your commitment. giving a commitment anymore is about as good as the toilet paper these kids wipe their arses with.

kind of what i was thinking. don't give a commitment if there is any shadow of a doubt that you will end up breaking that commitment. i understand that these kids get told that if they don't commit then the school recruiting them will move on to someone else. if they really want you, they will keep coming after you. shows a lack of integrity to commit to someone and then turn around and go somewhere else. just my opinion.

They have paper to wipe their arses with? These kids have it easy.

Can't put the commitment BS on the kid's entirely! The colleges do the same thing. They throw out an offer and then a week later call and take it back because the kid didn't commit soon enough and they say all their spots filled up. I think it is more on the colleges than the kids.

Integrity and honesty has been thrown out of our society. It starts at the home for the athletes. If they see that they have something better, they need to stay undecided. The only thing you have in this world are your word and marbles.

The only thing you have in this world are your word and marbles. And the college coaches the causes are greed, fear, and lack of integrity.

The only thing you have in this world are your word and marbles. That's the deal, you can't stay undecided or you will end up going nowhere! They put however many kids on their board according to their needs. If a kid stays "undecided" and is not a 5 star recruit, when their board fills with other commitments his offer is off the table. That's why these kids commit so they can at least have something to hang on to. h3ll i don't blame them.

And you add the fact that the NCAA only allows for how many official visits? That plays a big part in their decision as well.

They should just sign a financial aid agreement instead if there is any doubt, Basically allows you to stay a "free agent" So if there is any late coaching moves, like your position coach leaves you can sign wherever he goes to

when you sign then you both commit both kids and coaches are trying to get the best they can thats all either is committed to and look at the transfers kids go places that they really cant play then get mad and leave qb's are the biggest p)((*&s of them all they all think they are gonna play on Sundays because they go to 595968695 qb camps its like fall ball a lotta bs
