College Basketball Commitments

I came across a very nice article describing the college commitment habits of 700 top basketball recruits.  The author does a great job of delving through the data and concisely summarizing the main findings.  A few of my favorite highlights:

1. First, just obtaining all of this data (all high schools and colleges attended for all 700 athletes) must have been a Herculean task.  
2. I like that he also displays the data with several bar charts and a very colorful cumulative density plot showing how early in their high school career that recruits commit to a college.
3. Of the players who spent at least 2 seasons playing in college, over a third didn't end up where they started.
4. Think that these top recruits only bounce around universities to get the most exposure?  4 of the recruits attended 6 different high schools, including current NBA player Michael Beasley.  Plus, over 50% of the 2013 recruiting class attended at least 2 high schools.
