I am absolutely serious, if any school calls as a freshman we will visit, but my kids will not commit ANYWHERE until the end of their junior year (at the earliest). Because then I will be comfortable with the decision and I will feel like they will be going somewhere that will be a good fit. Before that it is too risky. And trust me, if your kid is good enough, they will wait. Because, if they are not, an early commitment would be a REALLY bad idea. This, but the class will be filled crap is nothing but a scare tactic, they will make room for a kid that they want (even if that mean bumping little Johnny that "committed" when he was 12! Been there, done that, trust me!
So true. Verbal commits are no binding legally. You as well as the school have the ability to change your mind.
Says the dad whose kid has no interest, stop being jealous, it's unbecoming. Commitments are real sorry you don't have one.
