Just my opinion but I believe the early commit process puts a lot of pressure on kids.  I know it is very competitive, but the current recruiting process sometimes forces kids and some families to make early decisions that are not best for the kid.... So later on when other offers, maybe better offers  come in they do what is best for them and flip.  Is that right??

Another side of that is the big head syndrome. Ive seen it time and time again the kids dont play their last year with any fire and dont listen to their coaches. Detremental to their team and safety. A kid can get hurt faster playing half speed. There are exceptions though. I.e. Earl Thomas, and hopefully D.Thompson

Great point!  A lot of that is perpetuated by the media.  Like setting dates for making a verbal commitment when kid has already committed.

Except for when the kid opened up his recruitment and decided to set a date himself. Media didn't do any of that.


Yep, I call it the Lebran syndrome. Kids are only acting like the so called role models of the pros.

ESPN doesn't help create any of this either. Plus how much money did Lebron give to the boys and girls club in Cleveland from "The Decision"? Best player in the NBA probably deserves a press conference.

at that time Kobe was the best player, can be argued KD was but the current MVP never requested a presser, he just signed the contract lol…… but anywho, I think since Baylor is in the conversation he might flip to them. Having 2 former Titans there helps also.

Something like $2.5 million. People never say anything about that though.

Looks like there's another update:
 
RT @avi_zaleon: .@CDAUPHINE will not be making his college decision this summer. The 2015 RB said he will announce in the middle of HS football season.

hmmmmmm… ..

might not be a bad idea at this moment, these Baylor fans are going nuts over Dauphine and Kam after some of the things I've read today. Sheesh.


My experience is rarely do these kids "reopen" their recruiting and stay with their original commitment. If Baylor is a better fit for him, he should go for it. Better to switch now than to make a decision you aren't sure about. I just don't think I would be waiting around for the bomb if I'm Kliff.
