I meant to post this earlier in the thread, but don't expect to hear much in terms of commitments until after the new year. We're in the dead period for recruiting until Jan 4th. On campus visits will begin after the 12th of Jan, which is typically when we get a lot of our commitments.

Quiet period
The quiet period tightens things a bit more, preventing any off-campus contact or viewing. Visits to the college's campus and written or electronic communications are still permitted.
Coaches often try to have prospects visit campus unofficially during this time in the spring and early summer, so that they can become familiar with campus.
Dead period
The dead period is the most restrictive. No in-person contact is allowed, even if a prospect makes a visit to the college campus. Written and electronic communications are still permitted.
And yet, prospects still do decide to commit to schools in late December and early January, often because they've considered all their options, taken all their visits, and are ready to pull the trigger.
