Rivals Summer Announcement Guide: Decisions coming in waves for top prospects

The recruiting calendar continues to change and that has led to prospects making their college decisions far earlier on average. May saw myriad blue-chippers come off the board and the next two months will bring more of the same.

Plenty of surprise and impromptu decisions will come, but the commitment calendar is jam-packed for June and July. There won’t be many days in the near future where a Power Four program doesn’t stack a pledge or two.

As the summer gets rip-roaring, Rivals is tracking which prospects have locked in commitment dates and which schools are in contention for said prospects.
