I've certainly learned my lesson this year. Never get your hopes up until signing day.

It is the kids, not the coaches fault that a kid checks out. Lack of committment is becoming dominate in our society today.

Not always. I guarantee you are large percentage of these decommitments result from Coaching changes. I was kind of surprised that only 12% decommitment and actually sign with another school.

I have to agree with this, but it goes both ways. Companies, etc aren't loyal to us either.
