Reply to "Questions about early commits"

I posed the question assuming the players were receiving athletic aid (scholarship). In the case of Arkansas...they have 23 players committed (PG) and 20 signing NLIs (scholarships). 

The incoming players are putting their deposits down months before the MLB draft. They might even have orientation prior to the draft depending on the school. Meaning most of them know where they will be living on campus and have possibly registered for classes (does this mean they are officially enrolled in the school?) Sure you can cut a kid, but you cannot tell them they are not welcome to enroll in the school. Even so, isn't this an NCAA violation? More $$$ committed than allotted. Even if these kids are left to duke it out in the fall...how is the bill being paid for? Hazing/forcing kids out of the program aside, the tuition needs to be paid. 

Now it goes from a player problem to a coach/school problem.
