Stop and think for a second about the unbelievable pressure a lot of these kids are under. They have coaches calling, about 3-4 recruiting services calling, family, friends, and people they don't know on Twitter constantly asking where are they going to school. The spotlight grows larger once they commit especially if a kid has been under recruited or overlooked. Look at it this way, you are in high school and you just started dating an average looking girl. Suddenly, you are getting looks, FB messages, and phone calls from 2 or 3 of the hottest girls in school. Think back to when you were 16-17 years old. Could you handle that situation and stay loyal to the average looking girl when the hottest girls in school are pursuing you? The recruiting process has set some of these kids up for failure. To many interviews pressing these kids for information when half of them don't now what mom is cooking for dinner let alone where they want to go to college.
