I agree with you in terms of 8th grade commits meaning zero, but we may be heading into new territory. If the kid waits until 10th or 11th grade to commit, does that visit play into his decision then? "The coach saw something in me when I was in 8th grade, and that means something to me."
Vanderbilt, Virginia, Miss State, USC, LSU (and many more) say sorry, that class is already full.
If I left my size 8 1/2 footprints on your alma mater, I apologize in advance.
Go44dad, now that's not entirely accurate. I just checked PG and in the last 50 days D1's have "committed" 96 2017's.
If I were a betting woman I would bet there was more money given out to the 48 2019-2021's who committed in the last 50 days than the 96 2017's combined.
In my opinion if the kid isn't approached by his Junior year by multiple D1's, it's just time to aim lower, if you actually want to play. I don't hold out much hope for those 96 2017's seeing ANY field time next year.
