I don't know about you guys, but when I chose a school to attend I had until May 1st. Some of these guys had to commit months, or even a year, before that point, because that's the name of the game and how recruiting is played.
Even after that, I got a better offer a month later, by coming off another school's waitlist, and switched.
Recruiting is a crazier game than this by far. Situations are changing all the time. On the one hand, if you want a spot at all anywhere, you have to commit, and probably not wait too long. On the other, things are constantly in motion, whether it's coaching changes, or new opportunities coming elsewhere, or a school adding another marquee recruit at the position and either changing the landscape there or flat out telling you they don't want you anymore...
It's a hard sea to navigate. I don't think anyone knows a "best" way to do it. As long as the guy isn't being deceitful to these schools, I don't really see the problem here.
All that said, it is too bad he didn't decide to stick with NU, but of course I'm extremely biased.
