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

Why do you guys bash on Dylan Moses? Is it because you're butthurt he didn't choose lsu? He chose Alabama because it will enhance his future and help him hone his craft. He'll only get better by playing for Bama. Coach Saban puts players in the pros. He would plateau or flame out playing for LSU. He would never make the NFL unless he played for Bama. Only Bama and "co sabun" "put playas in da pros". He would flounder in obscurity at lsu. Haven't you read the spring practice, cropped T shirt, no pads headlines? The kid is half Bo Jackson, half Derrick Thomas, Half Cornelius Bennett. They've already established this by looking at him in a pair of gray shorts. He moves like no other. He'll win 7 Heisman's.

Or.... jevronte and his prodigy had this whole shite planned. They we're going Bama the whole way. The Miles dismissal was an easy out/ploy to leave the state. They pussied out an transferred to IMG to avoid the deserved ridicule and backlash. Guess what- Moses really impresses in a pair of loose, gray cotton shorts. Same thing he's been doing since 7th grade. He pussied out for a brand name. He'll fade in a roster of stars.
Chris Allen was better.

These recruits are 16 or 17 years old. They change their mind hourly. Some get caught up in the excitement and commit, then they have committers remorse. They de-commit, then take their time to really evaluate their options.

Did you know what you wanted when you were 17 18 years old? If youre that age or under I get why you're asking the question.

They are just kids and kids change their minds a lot.

Once they see what type of cars they can drive playing for Bama, that's one reason.

I would give them the benefit of one decommit, after that pull the scholarship offer.

oh they have guidance... I mean sometimes they have dollar signs in their eyes, but it's guidance

Personally, I don't think Moses was ever coming to LSU. The very first ESPN The Magazine I saw with Jrevonte being interviewed, he was already awestruck by Saban. He always said Dylan would be at LSU as long as CLM was still coaching. However Dylan de-committed before CLM was fired.

Seems like that was used as the scapegoat.

To the OP's question, probably attention more than anything else. Social Media has greatly affected the recruiting process. This generation lives, dies, agonizes and celebrates over how many likes or dislikes they get.
