One thing I will never fully understand
Why not help out your new team by making it clear as soon as you've decided? And if you're a big name, the sooner you announce the more likely you are to help influence other name recruits to head to your new team too.

Because you'd rather be selfish ... no other reason I can think of.

What's odd to me as how most act as if they have zero clue on where they are gonna go....please....you know in an hour of visiting a college if you like it or not.
"Oh man...I just don't know....." -
But does he like smoked salmon?!?

It doesn't make sense to me either.
IMO, they are either attention whores (60%), holding out for a better offer (10%) or their grades suck (30%). -
Because they are 18/19 year olds.

I bet most of the schools already know.
-
Because you don't want to skype or be hounded for an interview by a creepy 450lbs man that thinks it's cool to wear overalls every day of your existence once you commit to the school of your choice. Simple fact.

For Wazzu, it's 0% attention whores, 100% holding out for a better offer, and 100% their grades suck.HuskyInAZ said:It doesn't make sense to me either.

Do these guys get hounded more or less after they commit? Debatable.AtomicDawg said:Because you don't want to skype or be hounded for an interview by a creepy 450lbs man that thinks it's cool to wear overalls every day of your existence once you commit to the school of your choice. Simple fact.

How do you know? Were you a D-1 recruit? Are we dealing in hypotheticals here?DerekJohnson said:

DJ doesn't sound edgy. Would've been a perfect Peterman recruit at a church school.DerekJohnson said:

I think the media built this machine over the last 5-10 years. Recruiting sites offering to show "what they know" and fans eating it up has created the attention whores.
I will say that some kids probably don't know. It's similar to leaving college and having a few job offers where there are pro's and cons and if given a set deadline many of us would likely get right to it before pulling the trigger.
And let's be honest, if you could schedule 5 free visits to drink and pound whores all weekend and be on top of the world at the age of 18, WTF ISN'T DOING THAT? -
Idiot fanboys really care about this shit and they feed the attention whores.DerekJohnson said:is wanting to wait until Signing Day before announcing your school of choice.

what prevents the recruit from telling other recruits separate from the announcement?
Abundance. -
That other recruits will probably let the cat outta the bag by making a mistake to the media or something.doogville said:what prevents the recruit from telling other recruits separate from the announcement?

Most of these kids get the recruitibg game. They probably have big belly laughs about the TBS fanboys.

If you don't like being hounded by a 450 nacho eating beast in overalls tell him to leave you alone and stop calling. If he doesn't, get a restraining order (btw, how awesome would that be... to find out that some kid got a restraining order against fatters/kim/ektard/roof?).

A kid like that would raise a lot of these in the TBS communityMrsPetersen said:If you don't like being hounded by a 450 nacho eating beast in overalls tell him to leave you alone and stop calling.

All reasons are selfish. He's making the decision for himself. I speculate that one reason for waiting until signing day is that the recruit is holding out for a better offer.
-
The only time it would make sense without being selfish is a kid who puts recruiting on the backburner until after his senior season. Then he has December and January to take five visits.

As long as TBS sites continue to gobble up $10.95/mo in access fees per user.... this will continue.

It'd mean that Fatters/Kim/Ektard/Roof couldn't come to UW's campus.MrsPetersen said:If you don't like being hounded by a 450 nacho eating beast in overalls tell him to leave you alone and stop calling.
