For example, a coach like Dom Starsia is an icon and is greatly respected and all, but he can't coach forever. Given the extremes of early recruiting, it would not be too bold to suggest that a current 2017 high school player will not play for Coach Starsia. What if the next UVa coach is not enamored with the 2017 commits and wants to do what Tamborini did at Penn State? It is at least a material risk to consider before having your kid go commit. Once these kids are juniors or seniors and there is a coaching change, there is no 1-800-get me another deal in this sport.


Ok so should a 2017 player & his family pass up an a chance to commit with a school he loves because of a "what if" ? WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!
