I'd visit the real USC, miami, Hawaii, UCLA, and some school in new York.

I'd then commit to USC.

NSD.

Take all 5 OV's. Multiple secret visits to top 3.

Never do a single interview or speak to anyone in the media.

With the new 24/7 crystal ball feature, I would see how many times I could make people change their prediction

Instead of waiting to have a signing ceremony and picking my hat at the end, I'd start one year before signing day and get 15 hats and once a month take a hat off my table until NSD. Would act interested in Hawaii, UCLA/USC, Miami, Arizona State, Oregon, Florida State, and whoever else would pay to give me a good time. Then on NSD I'd have Ohio State, USC, and Bama hats on the table, declare I'm going to get my education at Vanderbilt/Northwestern/Stanford and troll the hell out of everyone.

Take as many visits as possible and nail as many college chicks as possible (worked out pretty well when I was a freshman and NOT a highly recruited football player). Make everyone think they were my top choice. Then a complete media black out around December. Make my choice public on NSD.

I would be tight lipped and go see the programs I am interested in. I feel if I found the right school and felt absolute about it I would probably commit. I would also become an advocate for my team and try to recruit others. I would also do all I can to enroll early to get spring practice under my belt.

I wouldn't play the social media troll game.

I would take a ton of money and somehow make it look like RockyMtnTigerWDE did, thus ending his college career before it starts

I would commit somewhere, let's say Auburn, and get their fans all pumped up about me. Then I would decommit at the 11th hour only to commit to their in-state rival, just because I want to watch the world burn.

I'd be a silent commit to Ole Miss, get paid, then sign LSU on NSD at 11:59 P.M.

I would commit when I know what my decision is. Why do I have to time it?

That's easy. I would commit, sign a LOI, to Auburn b/c they pay the most money, but I would tell the school that I really wanted to go to that I was 100% on transferring before the season started.

I would then use that 1st season essentially like a RS year and get ready to play my Soph year at the school that has a coaching staff for developing talent for the NFL.

That way I can get paid early and get paid later.

We've been doing this too long to not have this loophole covered. Good effort though.

Keep in mind these options aren't the only way to make your decision but they pan out this way more often than not.

Commit early, focus on academics, and help the team of your choice in recruiting future teammates? Maybe enroll early?

Wait until NSD or the high school all-star game, take multiple official visits, and announcing in front of the nation?

Nowadays, it's nearly a 2 year long process and I can't imagine the stress that would come with it. That being said, I'd commit as early as I felt comfortable with my decision.


It depends...The coaching staff of the school that you commit to early doesnt stop evaluating you because you committed early...

i think that i would wait until NSD to announce my choice...visit all of the campuses that i am interested in...sit down with my parents and design an academic as well as an athletic plan and choose the school that best fits my needs...

I am an elite QB btw

I commit to a hated rival....and they say I will be the only QB commit in the class. Then I wait til all the other good QBs in the class sign, and then peace on that school. Go to their big rival and then be 4-0 against them as a starter
