I do know of a player (pitcher) that has recently "reclassified" from a 2015 to 2014 to graduate early to attend a top ACC baseball school. Time will tell if he goes in the draft after high school this June, or starts his college career early. If he is drafted after 3 years of college, he will only be 20!

Having a college commitment does allow for choices/backup plan, if the dollars aren't there in June. Reclassifying allowed this player to sign his NLI last November.
