My thought is if you make a "commitment" as a player....you keep it....it's very simple. My son committed to the first D! school that offered him. Before he called the coach, we were fairly sure an offer was coming....though he was still having some contact with some bigger schools. He said "if they offer, I'm taking it". We discussed the fact that there is NO WAY he is backing out and he was fine with it. His comment was "why would I....I want to go there". The only way I would have allowed him to back out was if 1) there was a coaching change....or 2) he decided to go to a D2 or D3 school...or 3) he quit baseball altogether. I guess different people have different beliefs. Hopefully the kids end up happy and do well wherever they end up.
