Jalen Petty has decommitted from Stanford and has now signed with Texas Tech. That is two schools he has decommitted from to land at TTU

Which raises this question: "What exactly does it mean for a player to 'commit' to playing for a school in 2025?"            

He decommitted less than two months after signing with Stanford! Pathetic.

I think 'commit' is now 'declare preliminary intention'...

Or, I wonder if the strategy is to commit in order to better negotiate for more NIL money.  If so, this is pretty unscrupulous.

Wow - Texas tech and the NIL bandwagon rides again.   Maybe the Clearinghouse actually comes into play here?   I thought NIL deals going forward needed to be certified, unless this is all coming from their $20.5 allocation.  Not sure what date NIL is subject to the Clearinghouse.   Sorry to see this happening.

Yeah, they're taking their Red Raider nickname a little too literally....

From Athletic article, “Aziz Olajuwon, son of NBA Hall of Famer Hakeem, commits to Stanford. What does he bring?”

Could Olajuwon impact Maxime Meyer’s decision? Olajuwon announced last month that he will spend his senior season at IMG Academy, where he’ll share the floor with Maxime Meyer, a 7-foot-1 center Stanford is recruiting heavily. Meyer recently trimmed his l ist to six schools — SMU, Vanderbilt, Saint Mary’s, Stanford, Ohio State and Michigan State — after a standout summer on the 3SSB Circuit where he averaged 9.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.2 blocks per game.

I spent some time yesterday updating the summary in the first post of this thread with info people had posted on the thread (and I also looked at the current roster).

But is this worthwhile? Since no one seems interested in keeping a summary updated here, and there may be more complete info available elsewhere (is there?), maybe there is no point in trying to have a summary here and this can just be a recruiting discussion thread.

Opinions?

I wonder how many 7-foot-1 people named Maxime are left in the world after Meyer and Raynaud.
