Is it better for the program to have a kid commit and then de-commit, or simply wait till they are absolutely sure?

It's only good for the program when a kid signs his LOI.  All the theater before is entertaining but signing on the dotted line is the only thing that's truly good for a program.

I would say neither are necessarily better for the program. The best thing is them to commit early and convince others to come with them.

I can’t imagine it ever being good for the program when you don’t get a guy.

If someone commits and others decide to come based on them and then they flip at the last minute and the others don’t i would say that commitment and flip was better for the program as it got others on board.

There are a few players we've had that we might have been better off had they decommitted and chosen another school.

Erskin comes to mind...

    With the climate going on in NCAA athletics, you’re either moving forward at a hard pace or you’re not. I think what intrigued me the most is they’re very determined to become a big player nationally.
