[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 511966, member: 2426"] I do understand that. However, the term "commitment" has been defined very liberally by recruits and recruiting sites. At GT, the standard has been that a commitment actually fits the dictionary definition for the recruits and for the school. In the Louisville case, one of the recruits actually changed his academic coursework based on "promises of commitment" from the school. The only reason that this particular recruit hadn't signed a letter of intent is because of timng limitations from the NCAA. "Commits" seems to be used as a limitation on the recruits and the recruits are crucified by the fans when they break their commitment. The schools are praised by fans when they drop a "committed" athlete to pick up a higher rated recruit. If the word of the school means nothing, then no athlete should make a commitment to any school until they have paperwork from the school guaranteeing the scholarship. [/QUOTE]
