That he goes to that IMG place tells me enough about his (lack of) character.

Slight overreaction on the part of decommitting and that somehow that today's actions means he will later be a bad person to those around him

If a great recruit decomits and joins TCU that is okay.

I’d give it a solid No 3. Behind Dublin Dr Pepper (rip) and Dr Pepper. Ahead of Pepsi & Coke, imho.

Meh, I think like @Wexahu said, a verbal "commitment" should really be called a "strong lean" or whatever. Pretty much everyone knows this, it's not like any coach is massively betrayed when a verbal flips. We're asking these 17 year old kids to make anywhere from a 3 to 5 year commitment (barring a transfer that costs them a year). If they change their mind along the way, that's their perogative.
Where the recruitment process really fails the kids is it tells them that they are superstars before they ever do anything of note. See that other article on Daylon Mack, who showed up to A&M lazy and out of shape, and has yet to live up to his recruiting expectations. He very well could leave A&M with little to show for it beyond a useless trademark.

For some their word is their bond. However, there will always be those who seem to relish the attention and notoriety
of being pursued and will often tend to vacillate.

My legal assistant's daughter accepted a Volleyball scholarship to a school in West Virginia.
Later, a Texas school made her an offer and she wanted to de-commit.
She asked my opinion. I told her that it was not fair to take an offered scholarship and then switch to another school. Not for the original school's sake, but for the other student who did not get offered the scholarship she accepted.
If you want to look around or you are not sure, don't commit to a school. It's just not fair to everybody involved in the process including yourself.
However, I do understand how things can change in a 17 year old child's mind. But at 17 you need to start becoming a man.
I hope this young man does not regret his decision.
TCU will fill this scholarship with a talented football player.
