I quickly checked and last year we got the 10th commitment on 9/6. Is there a trend this year? Hard to tell because some Ivies seem to have more than 10 by now and others less.

But as our esteemed colleague astutely noted this summer, having early commitments from the lightest recruited guys probably is not a good thing. (Not saying that's the case for Penn, as their early recruits look fine). [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Penn Gets #10 Author: Tiger81 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:35:11 08/24/21 Tue I’d have to go back and check but I believe Princeton’s 2022 commit list is up to 15-16 and for 2021 they only had a total of 20 or so which means they are recruiting faster than last year’s pace. But they need to be ahead of the game in order to offset last year’s small class. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Go Green [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:19:10 08/24/21 Tue If a kid has committed, what's the rationale for keeping it a secret? If he's hoping that the offers keep on coming, then that's not much of a commitment... [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Commitments Author: ivy guy [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:29:14 08/24/21 Tue We all know some commitments are like high school weddings. Seems like a good idea at the time, but rarely lasting. The ivy track record for commitments is pretty good. Much better that the P5 where everyday players announce they are re-opening recruiting ... after being committed for months or a year. De-committers seem to like the attention, and free trips to big games (and ongoing efforts from coaches to "flip" them). I tend to look posting of an ivy university provided commitment graphic, as an imprimatur of mutual understanding. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

In a survey of my class, 9.5% of respondents who had been divorced agreed with the statement, "On my wedding day, I thought this might not be a good idea." [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Commitments Author: An Observer [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:09:38 08/24/21 Tue After one Fourth of July weekend, I asked my boss at the time what he had done over the weekend. He looked down and responded sheepishly, "Oh, man. I had a crazy weekend. I flew to Paris and married [his girlfriend]." Seven months later, she delivered a baby boy. There's just something slightly jarring about highly educated middle-aged professionals who fall into this circumstance. He had degrees from Harvard, Wharton and Notre Dame. His wife was absolutely gorgeous and a really nice woman so it all worked out. They're still married 25 years later. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
