Early commitments leading to too many changes

Kids de-commit, kids outgrow projected weight, some schools have "tough conversations" after promising a kid something leaving them without many options late in the process. I don't think it changes anything for the top guys who can train at RTC's and do all that stuff - we already know MJ Staples is coming to Blacksburg. It could hurt the fringe D1 guys who weren't getting recruited early to begin with, now their timeline gets pushed back while top guys make decisions which is where I see problems coming in. The best kids in the class are already indirectly getting recruited and it's before june 15th.

Doubt there is any ambiguity for the kids we're recruiting

The proposed changes compress the timeline too much for the kids**
