I think it makes a lot of sense for a kid to put out his top 5-7. That way it is publicly clear who he is interesting in; it should help the recruiting process. Maybe keep some teams (and their idiot fans) from bugging him all the time.
The ones that put out list of 10-20 and then a 2nd list and then a final list are a little more in it for the show instead of trying to maximize the process.
