  2. Decommits are going to happen when you sign pretty much all of your class before the season starts. It's something Michigan is probably going to experience as well.

  3. Really enjoyed the article, very articulate. It's funny how the internet fanbases can vilify decommits, but it is indeed a powerful tool in the high schoolers' arsenal.
