...or the other side of the coin (speculating a bit, of course) ... likely that the HS HC has a very good relationship with the JC HC and assures him that the player will be an immediate impact player for him. Which means that the player has a good chance to get attention from other 4 yr schools. Which brings me back to wondering why he would want to commit early to the JC he's not sold on, particularly if concerned about the ethical aspect of backing out of a commitment.
Let the JC know you certainly have some interest but need to go a bit further into the recruiting process to gain a better understanding of what pond you should be fishing in and what the best fit will be.
