It's not a full commitment but it also saves teams the trouble of further pursuing a player that isn't interested in their school.

(basically if you missed the cut, you can't recruit him anymore)

And this would really have the most impact on guys who stay in the pool for the longest, i.e. the guys that people are more likely to try and make a late move for. So if there is a guy who says he is going to decide late, folks may decided to wait on him, but at some point in the season he just locks the top 5 teams with Low interest and doesn't pay attention to any other team? Seems like too many issues and loopholes with this, while I don't really see the benefit... It doesn't really save teams trouble. It prevents them to going after players they want. And it protects teams in the top 5 from competition. What if 4 of those teams give out all their scholarships? Now that last team is a shoo-in and doesn't need to add any more contacts because they are safe in knowing no other team can compete for the player. This seems very limiting and mechanic breaking to me. -1 Updated Saturday, January 5 2019 @ 7:43:10 pm PST
