I was scanning the just-released, updated and expanded rankings on PGCrosschecker and noticed the continuing growth of early commitments.
Five sophomores (2010) are noted as having already committed to schools including USC, Cal Irvine, N.C. State, Florida, and San Diego. My guess is that there are several more out there who simply have not yet been reported.
The number of juniors having already committed is substantial. Most are going to major conference schools. Mid-majors do not seem to be participating in the trend so much.
