As the rules stand today ,it is free for all for both Universities and H.S. athletes. Schools can make unlimited offers of scholarship, athletes can Verbally agree to an offer. Athletes can continue to talk and visit with other schools. Universities can invite athletes who have verbally committed to another school. Athletes can de- commit to an University and Universities can pull back an offer at any time , until a LOI is signed in February. Universities do have a total limit of 85 for football.(unless a penalty is issued by the NCAA) . So unless the NCAA ,changes the rules and allows recruits and Universities to Sign a binding LOI early , it will mean athletes and Universities will do what they feel is right for them. Good , bad and ugly for all on both sides.

All very true Stan. I think that most of us just remember the "good old days" when your word actually meant something. I guess it all depends on how one was brought up, and apparantly, the youth of today don't put a whole lot of stock in character.
I'm assuming that the latest "de-commit" prompted you to post. The only true inequity in the whole system is that a kid can bash a University when he de-commits ("they pulled my scholly"), but the University isn't allowed (per NCAA rules) to comment until after signing day.
In most of these cases, there is more than meets the eye (read grades/non-qualifier) that has put the University in these positions. Believe me, no D-1 school want's the reputation of being the school that doesn't honor their commitment.

I would guess the situations like Batiste, Victor, Dowling, Morrow, Watson................ will continue . It involves most schools and probably worse for the top 25 schools. Unless the NCAA wants to set up an early admissions LOI , locking up both the University and the athlete.
