None of these kids have a guarantee until they are at this time of year senior year and sign an NLI. For Ivy kids where there are no scholarships they don't get admissions letters until the early decision batch goes out in December of senior year. Parents and club people should be less excitable about these kids college verbal plans. It is a nice accomplishment to be recruited and few kids can get that from top programs, so congrats. But for a kid to go all the way through high school as Johnny Doe (UNC commit) or Joey Doe (UVa commit) is pretty silly. How about the kid and parents proudly noting the school they go to now and leave at that? At some level it is just silly for kids to walk around like tyhey are Tarheels or Blue Jays before doign anything on a high school field.
