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

They want attention...period!!!

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

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.

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.

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.

I see many responses about how they are just 17 year olds and what kid knows what to do at that age or kids change their mind all the time.

But still something else is at play. Twenty to thirty years ago, you did not see all the committing, de-committing, and re- committing nonsense that goes on now. And sometimes in a span of only a few weeks. And it seems to get worse every year.

So it does make you wonder if there are better "offers" from other schools or it is some kind of strategy to improve their star ranking by keeping their name in the news.

They're 18 with little guidance.

That's why none of this really matters until the very end. I still pay attention but don't take anything real serious. As long as LSU and staff are constantly building relationships with kids from all over now, is good enough to close well with a great season.

The Hback position will play a key roll in this years offense, it's deep one of our deepest actually. We need a great QB, some DEs, NT, RBs, and WRs in the worst way. I would say linebackers as well but we seem to be doing well at those spots now. We also need OTs. If O can pull that off we will be well on our way. LSU has a ways to go to fill all our depth needs. Will take another 2 superb recruiting years to be considered elite at all positions. O will get it done though.
