I would be curious to see if there is any correlation to decommits and success (or lack there of). There are, of course, multiple reasons why someone decommits. But a lot of it stems from a lack of maturity and being able to handle the attention.

I'm not sure about this. You really expect 16 and 17 year olds to display amazing maturity? These coaches are really good salesmen and sometimes kids get caught up in a moment. Also, some of this is just the nature of recruiting ("playing the game").

Stingley decommitted. Chase decommitted from two different schools. Phillips flipped from Oklahoma. Roy decommitted. Brennan "reopened his recruitment". None of these guys seem immature to me. And even though he hasn't played much, Emery decommitted from Georgia and he seems to have his head on straight.
