He's a soft commit.

I have no problems at all with any recruit who wants to look around. These players need to choose what they think is the best place to be for them, no different than anybody else in selecting a college. They have to commit as part of the process, but when things change or (potentially) better offers come along, they should absolutely explore them.

Would definitely be nice for fans to realize this and not give anyone grief for it. (Speaking in general; twitter is a good case in point. Actually, fans should not tweet at recruits in general)

I agree, the coaches have to do their part. But, there are great coaches who haven't worked out at a certain place. I believe it's because, for some reason, the mentality of the team was such that no matter what the coach does, it doesn't change enough to win championships.

To take it a step further, I'd recommend not personally investing yourself in recruiting. Of course it's fine to drink the Kool-Aid and join the celebraish when we bring talented new guys on the team. But I've been the guy who gets upset when a guy waivers or deco mits or we whiff on a big-time recruit. Not that guy now, and it's just not worth. Recruiting is just far too volatile to not expect these types of deals every year.
While it's important, recruiting is 100% out of our control and just not worth the headache, IMO.
