Players of this caliber are very driven, focused and love to play soccer. One who committs (sp) early has more than likely already had plenty of interest. Any decision would be well thought out. I would say that the turnover rate in college soccer is high because the work ethic required to play and succeed is much greater than some are willing. One who has a scholarship has a different take on college soccer than one whose parents are paying. Why not celebrate this rather than judge? These players are not your typical teenagers. I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing.
Another vote for accomodating the top 1% of the player pool, at the possible detriment to the other 99%. 
Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
