I heard Dukes coach talk about this. They all wish the NCAA would stop it. They cant do it themselbes. If Duke stops but Maryland and NC does not, they will lock up the best players and Duke will be lookin for a new coach. . The only ones that benefit are the smaller schools who may benefit from a late bloomer who come son the scene late.
Would love to see how many of these athletes they are "locking up early" fizzle out in their college career. We have yet to really see the effects of these early commits with early burn out. There has definitely been a lot more de-committing these days as kids are way too young to be making these decisions. Every recruiting talk we have ever been to coaches talk about how upset they are with having to look at such young players yet they all turn around and commit them. Would someone get a set of balls and set a lead example. I am sure if a few take the lead the rest will follow!!
