06:47 AM ET 01.07 | Rich Central sophomore Crandall Head made it official after Sunday's Illinois-Penn State game. "I'm committing to Illinois," said the brother of Luther Head, one of the key players on the 2005 Illini team that finished second to North Carolina in the NCAA tournament. Head became the sixth player to commit. Coach Bruce Weber has one commitment from the class of 2008, three from 2009 and two from 2010.

After some exhaustive research and a quick call to cooley friend of mine...China mandates that parents make prenatal committments for their kids to serve the Peoples' Republic in some fashion......Now, that's the Walk of Life

TRUTH, I am down with parental commitment... it could improve some of the decision making that goes on in college, plus the system in NCAA football is not democratic but more socialist, so adopting this from China would be great.

This is insane, I know that UCLA just did this too and USC has done it twice. Crazy. From what I understand the very first recorded instance at DI backed out and went elsewhere ... because the kid thought he'd be homesick, seriously. I'm shocked the NCAA is looking past this little loophole of recruiting and allowing schools to bypass that rule by seeking out the kids pre-high school. You think HS stars have big egos now? Think about a 12 or 13 year old strutting around the playground with a piece of paper from a DI school. Sad.
