I thought that decommitting was really frowned upon in baseball as was pulling an offer, is that not true? I was under the impression that their word meant more in baseball than it seems to in football?
Traditionally, that has been true, but I see more and more kids who committed early pulling their commitments, usually after "much thought and prayer."

Usually the player doesn't keep up with the school's expectations, and the school gives them the "opportunity" to de-commit and find a better situation. I don't think I've ever seen a kid de-commit because he found a spot with a "better" school. Anyone else?
