This whole early recruiting/verbal commitment is a bit of a sham that heavily favors the college. "Hey kid in 8th grade - your great - I want you to play for me in 4 years (if I'm still around). Hey kid - prior to signing NLI - saw your post on FB with you holding a red solo cup and I have come across a kid I like better than you - so deal is off. Don't mean to leave you flat footed - I know u spent a lot on (UNC, Hopkins, etc) gear. Best of luck to you..."
