We have seen a flurry of last minute early commitments ahead of an August 1 rule change that is intended to slow the flow. Up to this point it has not been unusual for programs to secure commitments 3-4 years out. The rule change restricts when unofficial visits occur, but as coaches find their work arounds, early offers and commitments will probably continue. As the dust settles on that issue, here's a quick glance at the recruiting pipeline for the current top ten programs (listed in alphabetical order). The full database of commitments is published under the RECRUITS tab. (Note: This article was corrected on 8/6/17)
