"23 are uncommited and have expressed no interest ("cool" in 247 terminology)"
I certainly wouldn't count out a recruit with a "cool" rating. The warm and warmer ratings are assigned when a recruit indicates that a shool is a favorite. Cool ratings are then given to the remaining schools. It doesn't necessarily mean a recruit has paired down his list. One of these 23 recruits you mention has a cool rating for all of the schools in his list. Finally, in the past recruits have suddenly become "warmer" when they are admitted. I fully expect to see this reaction many times in the future. Kids with interest in other schools with high academics are likley to react this way.
