Probably a combination of both. I really do not blame a kid for "reserving a spot", but keeping options open in case of NCAA problems. No "commit" is truly a "commit" until they sign in February. Ultimately kids need to do what they think is best for their future, both academically and for football reasons. Whether they decide the summer before their senior year, or February 1, they gotta do what they gotta do. I just appreciate kids being honest with all schools and letting them know they are still lookin a bit. Nothing wrong with that.
