This situation is retarded and the way some of these guys handle their own recruiting is beyond my belief. They should not commit unless they are absolutely, positively sure they are going to that school. I know we are dealing with "kids" (im only 20 and dont personally use the word often) but they are expected at their age to make mature decisions. If i wasn't 100% sure i was going to a school (he was committed to LSU since last spring for god's sake) then i would not commit. They are taking scholarships from other people that want to be here.
My heart agrees with you, but in my head I know that it's all a big game. And these "kids" (I'm 27) are more likely being stupid and/or manipulated than actually pulling the strings. Parents, coaches, pastors, etc. are in their ear all the time. Say what you want, a 17 year old still defers to most adults. And when some of these adults are legitimate celebrities (as Kiffin, Saban, Carroll, Meyer, etc. are) they can have a great deal of influence. It pisses me off when a commit breaks his word, but all you can really do is hope that we pull some other team's 4-star.
