Why do you think a recruit commits, de-commits, re-commits, etc.?

I know sometimes a recruit gets caught up in the excitement during a visit and may commit only to think otherwise after the excitement has died down.
But I wonder if most times it is more than that. Is there some kind of strategy to improve his star ranking with the recruiting services by committing and de- committing?

They want attention from other schools. I bet its a great feeling to get wined and dined

The neediest recruits in history were Jeryl Brazil and Dylan Moses.

You think Moses' dad is mad that Lavar Ball is stealing all of his thunder?

In some cases, the recruit is found by a better bagman

His 15 minutes ended once his kid signed on the dotted line... better hope that meal ticket wasn't overrated like people were beginning to think.

Maybe they want to explore
Other options, or
Not.

Because they are immature. Most of these kids are so happy with an offer they take what at time seems once in a lifetime, and realize there are more options.

For one thing these are just teenagers. Most of them don't even know who they are yet. They have trouble choosing between Mcdonald's and Taco Bell. Let alone where to attend college for the next 4 years.
Also as the process goes on with everything these kids hear from recruiters they begin to get a much more inflated opinion of themselves. The bigger better deal always looks like its around the corner. Trips and dinners all to tell them how great they are. Recruiting becomes a game they love to play.

It's funny how everyone continues this mantra on this site, when none of the posters have ever had to make that decision for themselves, or sat with a kid as a coach struggling to do the right thing.
Are there attention seekers? Absolutely, but they aren't the majority.

I look at it, like I look at the folks that upload 10 selfies a day to Facebook.
They want attention and I do my best to ignore it.

Most of the time it's just kids being wishy washy, and a lot of them commit way too early.
