Decommitments Watch for programs with fired coaches
Posted on 10/28/25 at 9:02 am

I had an idea interesting for me and probably some others. As we know, many times programs get decimated by decommits after the HC is fired. So I did a quick check on 247 sports for the 3 major programs (sorry Arkansas and Okie State) as to the withdrawn verbals after the 3 major ones of note fired their HC. Obviously, I'm only using the actions happening after termination. I'm not insinuating any reason, just giving the facts.

Smart kids will at least wait to see who the new coach is.

Well, my experience at looking at this means I guess most kids are "dumb" 
Usually within a week of the firing and no head coach in sight, they bail. I will give one possible explanation as to LSU's retention. 12 out of 18 commits are from Louisiana. So there is probably a lot of "I really want to play for the state university and don't care who the coach is."

Does that suggest that whoever hires Franklin may have a few good players follow him?
1. Offer Franklin a lowball deal (let Penn St pay him)
2. Use money saved to grab the top players from their decommits, keep our recruits and portal in studs
3. Profit
I know coaching changes board. But thought it was appropriate response to the number of Penn St decommits. Actually, I assume most of the decommits for Penn State are from that region and will end up at other Big 10 schools.

Commitments
Commitments are a complete and utter joke these days.
Kids commit, and decommit, and recommit, all at the drop of a hat.
I don’t think they understand what the word commitment means.

I guess I shouldn't say kids are dumb if they bail immediately. There's nothing really wrong with opening your recruitment back up as long as you are open to the new coach re-recruiting you. Jumping immediately to another school is dumb.

Decommitment states: TN 1, VA 2, CA 1, NC 1, MD 2, NJ 1, DE 1, PA 1 Looking at that it MIGHT support my point that LSU has much larger % of commits from the home state than Penn State has which probably hurt them in this. Obviously, these many kids have no ties to Pennsylvania.
