It varies, but the academic calendar plays a role. They will be finishing up the Spring semester where they are and usually want to have their landing spot lined up by then so that they can take care of the normal things that come with moving to a new city/school and get acclimated to their new home/team, so for the majority of guys you have a natural end date of when they will make a decision by based on that.

Most players have a much more jaded view of the recruitment process the second time around and so just want to find out their best option and get it over with ASAP, so the dominoes start to fall fairly quickly once the season ends.
