What do you make of the mid major early commit types? we've all heard of the studs who verbal to a P5 in their 8th, 9th or 10th grade years. I've noticed a handful of frosh/soph types who verbal to local (usually) d1's that are decent programs but not power programs. often these guys seem to be stud players but undersized or local hero types who haven't gotten their man strength.
is this the kid taking the first/best offer available? is this the local D1 rolling the dice on a kid with possibly a bunch of upside? I'm noticing this on the west coast so we're talking WCC/WAC/Big West type schools.
