Does anybody keep track of decommitments across every school?

I know we have already had a ton of decommits for 2016, but I'd really like to know if this happens at every program, if this is a new trend with today's recruits compared to earlier recruits, or if we're simply an outlier.

Hard to figure out what it all means if we're looking at ourselves in a vacuum.

Anyone have any reliable data?

Well when you recruit early in south Florida it happens regardless the school. It was bound to happen when you have 20 plus kids committed by May of that year. Same thing happened to Texas when they used to recruit their whole recruiting class before the season even started

I'll answer. Never in the history of college football has any coach ever had as many decommits as Al Golden! Penn State had more guys stick after the NCAA tried to crucify them. Why does that tell you about the epic failure Al Golden is and has been.

Texas never had the amount of decommitments we have had under Golden...not even close. In fact, every year Mack Brown had to turn away multiple 4 star prospects, because they didn't have any room.

I don't think Texas ever had this many de-commitments maybe when Mack got fired but never like this... Mack always had his class locked up which was his downfall... Players emerge and progress but he had his class like 95 percent full... Man, 10 de-commitments is bad no matter when it takes place... That means you never really sold the kid on anything...

Not sure if recruiting sites keep that but as someone that has followed recrutiing for a long time I can tell you our rate under Golden is unusually high.
 
Golden has a yearly schedule on how to keep his job. Around the offseason he'll have the next year's class looking pretty good and those that are on the fence about him will point to that fact as a positive. When the season starts to roll around, more of these kids that are about to be seniors are going to camps and getting more recognition. With this recognition, comes a scholly offer, in which some kids will look at that school seriously. Golden pressures some of these kids for commitments, even though he knows full well that at some point they'll likely decommit as they'll see a better opportunity elsewhere while he looks at other options. Point being - Golden is a fraud and the people that boasted about #swag16 are dumb as ****. How are you going to boast about a recruiting class that has a year to wait until they sign their LOI?

When you pressure kids to commit even though the kid states they still want to see what's out there and you tell them your commitment will hold your place you are only setting your program up for de commitments. UM coaches really put the pressure on early for a kid to commit more than a lot of other programs. At times it almost seems like out of desperation when you compare their approach to that of some of the schools that are on top right now.

Texas turns away kids if they even take a visit. Must be nice meanwhile, in Folden land our commits give a percentage of commitment and continue to look around.
