35 2020 D1 commitments and some very good teams have 0. Denver included. Shows that most D1 coaches don't believe in early recruiting. As an earlier poster stated...the majority of these 8th grade commits will "decommit" by signing day. Just a strategy that some coaches use. And Clubs are going to keep raking in the money from the rich lax kids parents.
While I dont disagree with your general point, look at 2019 - a whole host of places you wouldnt necessarily expect have recruits (Navy, Vermont, Hobart, etc)
And BTW, Denver has 8 2019s so they are as in this as anyone. It is what it is. Clubs keep getting richer, coaches take bigger rosters (recruit lists) and thee will be more decommitts.
To me the interesting bets are the ones coaches make from the same club team with early commits - UNC bets on two MD teams for 2019, 88+3 will be sending many of their 2019s to the same place.
