With all this early recruiting,many recruits get complacent and lazy,while the uncommitted are working very hard to secure a spot,which wasn't handed to them early! I believe,IMO,that the later recruit will work harder for a coach..maybe not everytime,but most of the time.


On many teams the hardest workers are the walk ons / no scholarship kids. They want a roster spot first and then the money will come in year 2 if they contribute. Just look at all the BUSTS in the NFL, NBA, NHL and Baseball drafts. Now ask a college coach to make a guess about an 8th, 9th or 10th grade immature, not done growing (or maybe they have??) kid who hasn't even taken their PSAT yet. Really tough to do. Anyone can pick out Lebron JAmes but after that its really really hard to do!
