Honest question for this thread - Is this the reality from your personal experience? I have a P5 LHP, and once he committed, the communication from other coaches dried up. During his Sr year, Juco's would reach out, but to say, "hey, if that school doesn't work out, give me a call."

Son was same situation as yours. When he committed, that was it, nothing from other schools. He committed as a sophomore. Some JUCO's did reach out when senior year was cancelled due to Covid and landscape changed a bit.

Several recruits I know changed their verbal commitments to other schools. They initiated the conversation with the new school.
