Is it not conceivable for a player to have five or six schools that he's looking hard at? Especially considering he's only a sophmore?
Of course it's possible.
Why have you conflated possibilities with announcements.
Surely you'd agree that a player listing his top 20 schools would be silly.
Maybe you'd agree that saying "I've narrowed my list down to 15," would also be a bit contrived.
We agree, we just have different numbers.
My perspective is - when you have it down to 2 or 3 schools, let us know. Until then, what's the point, other than "look at me, look at me"?
