AB-
These are all verbal commits, correct? There is some chance that kids will not stick to these and sign a letter of intent somewhere else next Feb?
With that kind of time to use, I wonder why kids are so eager to "commit" now, instead of waiting til later.
Also- on the Auburn coaches; I'm thinking it is a fine line between locking folks up now, versus seeing what is available as the high school season goes on?
These are all oral commits, yes. Nothing is binding.
I think a lot of kids want to get this taken care of before they start their senior year. It's a big weight off their mind.
Plus, these scholarship offers that are out there now might not be there once classes start filling up. If you're a 5-star recruit, then yes, you can probably wait until the beginning of February to commit. But for 3-star guys or unranked ones, it's not bad to lock down a commitment before you get left out.
