Agree. I wish they would at least be named and outed.

How about the players who pull their verbal commitments from colleges to commit somewhere else? It happens on both sides. Everyone should know that verbal offers are not set in stone.

That happens far less often on the players side and generally just when there is a coaching change. To most kids the commitment is what they have been striving for and to take it away from them is particularly cruel.

This is untrue. Often players use verbal committments at lesser schools to leverage into a committment at a better school. Again it’s why counting verbal commitments is ridiculous.

I can name several kids from my area with pulled offers from schools. I cant name one kid who verbally committed and reneged without coaching change. Anecdotal but I am in a hotbed of recruiting.

Talking out of your a**. This VERY rarely happens. It is an actual business practice at some of these schools to over offer. And it needs to stop. And it is only going to get worse. Good coaches hold back a certain amount of availability for late signees, they dont offer 120% of capacity to kids. And the coaches know they kids wont go scorched earth because they dont want the reputation. But people in the know know exactly who these schools are.

Coaches used to bring on as many players as they could often to hoard talent. Now that coaches are limited to a 28 player roster what do you think the chances are that they'll start offering more than 28 verbals to hoard talent dropping some off at the last minute?
