Many of these kids start getting recruited at a very early age, so why does it take 2-4 years to determine where the hell they want to go to school?

Some of it is a little trolling, some is "beg for me", some of it pre-planned by other schools to damage another, but mostly it is like a game of musical chairs, where everyone goes round and round till the music stops (a big commit). After the smoke clears, they do it all over again until another commits, then another. By NSD there are just a few left, then it usually is pain for the incumbent school who usually loses a long commit.

It's ugly, for sure.
