If it seems that high school prospects are backing out of their commitments to college programs more than they have in the past, it’s because they are.

There have been more than 520 decommitments logged on 247Sports database player profile timelines over the last calendar year for football and basketball, the average for the three previous years was just over 420 per.

That’s way too many to not keep some kind of record of, and 247Sports now has the ability to record and display every decommitment with the 247Sports Decommitment Tracker.

The national Decommitment Tracker displays all the decommits in real-time, as well as at the individual team level for current and past classes.

Miami signed a class of 19 in 2016 following a frustrating season that resulted in Al Golden being replaced by Mark Richt. The Canes’ decommit list includes 23 prospects once committed that ended up elsewhere. Florida, Florida State, Tennessee, Michigan, South Carolina, North Carolina, Nebraska, Pitt and others ended up benefitting from the changes at Miami.

But, how much did the Hurricanes actually miss out on? We can check back on this list in a couple years and find out.

How much farther along would the Michigan resurgence be if Jim Harbaugh had somehow signed the two five-stars and five four-star prospects that were committed to the Wolverines at one point in the 2015 cycle?

Would Mark Richt still be at Georgia if Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry’s commitment to the Bulldogs in 2013 had stuck?

You can also see that historically there is a decent percentage of decommits that end up back with the school they originally committed to. So the next time a prospect decommits from your favorite school, keep in mind that it’s not over until National Signing Day and that 247Sports will be tracking it all.
