The college coaches are being duped... In the end no one is happy because the talents, wants and desires of a 14 year old is certain to change in 4-5 years


You have no idea what you're talking about! Early committing will continue because on average, the great kids in 8th/9th grade will be the great kids in 12th and beyond! Colleges will continue to attempt to secure these committments, because on average, these kids will perform. Of couse there will bw a few that don't produce, as well as some late bloomers, but that will be the exception. You make a lot of bold claims, with no actual data to back up what you're saying!


I don't know how you reach that conclusion.....but am also not sure anyone can say this accelerated recruitment is the wave of the future. It is a relatively new phenomenon to recruit this early and there is not enough data to demonstrate whether these early commits are good bets or not. Time will tell....
