Texas Tech Recruiting Roundup: Why do recruits decommit?

A few days ago 3-star tight end Donte Coleman decommitted from the Red Raiders. So, why do recruits decommit?

Earlier this week 3-star tight end Donte Coleman decommitted from the Red Raiders. This is starting to become a normal occurrence now for the Red Raiders. Last year Jarrett Stidham decommitted at the 11th hour and signed with Baylor leaving the Red Raiders high and dry. In the 2016 class Texas Tech has now had 3 players decommit. First there was 4-star QB/ATH Tristen Wallace, followed by 3-star S Collin Wilder and now Coleman. Wallace committed to Ohio State, Wilder is committed to Houston, and Coleman is now looking at other schools.
