Decommitment season: 15 recruits who could flip before signing day

As the recruiting calendar flips to October, we enter what recruiters call “decommitment season.” It’s a maddening part of the recruiting process for coaches. Schools work years to build a bond with a prospect and secure a commitment. Then for a litany of reasons a prospect will get cold feet, back away from the pledge and flip to another school. Head coaches gripe about it every year, but behind the scenes, they’re working hard to try and lure committed recruits their way. Decommitments are a common part of the process. From the looks of it, we can expect a busy flip season with the 2022 class. On3 looks at the most likely candidates to flip before the early signing period starts on Dec. 15.
