There are a few kids in my general area that have “committed” to D1 schools that just finished the 8th grade. Lol. Not sure how that works...

It means nothing if the kids don’t progress into the stud the college coach anticipates them to be.

If they don’t progress they will hear from the coach at some point, “I will honor my offer. But I don’t see you ever making the roster here. I recommend you look elsewhere.”

What kid is going to walk into that situation if he wants to play ball? Very early commitment is very much to the benefit of the college and very little benefit to the player. If they do become studs the same offer and more from other programs would be available after soph year of high school.
