Beware committing too early without giving other schools a good consideration.
There is a thing called a "gray shirt" and it's VERY common in big time college football. Basically it's when the school pulls your scholarship offer and asks you to either play as a walk on this year or enroll in the school next year instead of this year.
Pretty classy telling him two days before signing. I think if a coach second guesses an early commit, so be it, better to let him loose than to drop him from the team once he is in the school, however, this coach should have given the kid some time. Like Trevor Tierney's article on early recruiting says at the end of the day a verbal doesn't mean S--T! That goes for coach and player. Keep studying hard and playing hard and be polite to anyone who makes other overtures.
