Let's think about the whole idea of "commitment" including the purpose of listing them in various recruiting sites.  Seems to me "commitment" means I might consider SU as a backup if I cannot find something better. If I were SU, I would no longer participate in the published listings.  I would also explore  with the recruit the  level of certainty he and his parents are investing.  I would ask as part of the agreement between recruit and SU that this level be an important topic of discussion in subsequent conversations.  And if the recruit is considering backing out he inform SU coaches of his indecision as soon as possible.  If family and recruit are not willing to engage in a good faith relationship, then I think SU should end its commitment to the recruit. I wonder what the initial conversations between coach and recruit are like.  Do the coaches have an extensive agenda for conversations?  I have the impression that the kid who wants a fall back position from SU might give himself away in even a perfunctory initial contact.  I guess my point is that SU's approach to recruiting may require adjustments.
