If you have followed recruiting for any amount of time, you have come to realize how commonplace it is for recruits decommit from schools after pledges lasting a significant amount of time or almost no time at all. It is also not uncommon for recruits to flip to a school’s rival by conference, region, or even an in-state rival.
If you ever want to see the dark side of the recruiting process, let a kid from somewhere like Auburn to Alabama decommit so you can see all the grown men who get way too invested in the decisions of teenagers come out of the woodwork to tell them how much of a mistake they are making and while they will regret it.
