the only advantage to delaying early recruiting is so the rest of us don't have to hear the parents of the recruit flapping their pie holes for 4 years on the varsity sideline. Geesh they make it hard to root for their kids
Not all act that way, but you are right, for the ones that do it is annoying. All the sudden mom, dad and every sibling has U State sweatshirts, hats, water bottles. Then all the cars get covered in bumper stickers. The parents want to talk about every game UState plays except no one else watched it or cares, as if the player had anything to contribute anyway. So yes there are some over the top families that are just funny to watch carry on with a commit, some even announcing "offers" and yes, makes it hard to root for these kids. But most handle it in a low key fashion, and you may never know that they even committed except by word of mouth or if you ask them, they are easy to root for.
