They should really have some sort of conditional acceptance

While I know there are plenty of reasons why a recruit signs with a school (geography, academics, competing for championships, religion, etc.), I have to think top athletes are focused mainly on the coaching staff and the talent around them to win championships.

If a player's position coach, his coordinator or the HC leaves, the recruit should have the option to explore other schools without losing eligibility. Granted there may not be many other options out there given that other recruiting classes a pretty full, it at least gives the kid an out.
