Brickhouse,
Scholarships, by NCAA rule, are only for one year. Coaches and schools are precluded from offering scholarships for 4 years.
A few weeks back, this board was filled with comments on the new UNLV coach and the manner in which he cleaned house. It was in accordance with NCAA procedures, but certainly less than "right."
My view is that player and parent views and approaches on commitment, of the type described in this thread, can create a "wild" "wild" west for baseball. If players/recruits take a view of their word and commitment is only as good as the next offer, why should any NCAA college coach take a different view? If a player/parent takes the view their word/commitment is only as good as the next offer, why should any college coach have any concern about dropping them/cutting them the following May/June if they don't perform?
