The article below is specific to UA, and their class but near the bottom is a quote relating to the amount of decommits seen in college football. Roughly 23% of all kids who committed this year decommitted. It's Aztec related in that I believe we only had a handful who decommitted (at most - maybe only 3?). Even at 4 or 5 that's 4 or 5 of 27 or 28, so well below the national average.
I know some programs that lost 4 in 1 week.
Very impressive that we're not only getting a higher tier of recruits to commit but we're KEEPING them. If I'm off, and I simply don't recall all the decommits, then I apologize. But we had NOBODY decommit on signing day - that alone is better than most programs. Definitely nobody over the last 2 days like UA saw.

According to research by Matt Dudek, the UA’s general manager/director of player personnel, 757 players had decommitted from Division I schools as of 12:30 p.m. Wednesday – about 23 percent of the entire class. Rodriguez lamented the time and money spent – and ultimately wasted – on those players.
“There’s been more decommitments this year than any time I can remember,” Rodriguez said. “When a young man decommits a week or a day or a couple days before the signing period, it kinds of puts everybody in a bind.”
