High School Playerâs Commitment Confuses Coaches
Somewhere in Florida, June 8, 2016â A player who shall not be named sent shockwaves throughout the collegiate football landscape when he committed to Georgia earlier this morning. A few seconds later he was overheard muttering that he wasnât happy with the attention he had received from the school of his commitment and had decided to decommit.
The sudden decision came as a surprise to the Georgia staff who learned the news a few minutes later in a cryptic tweet that contained several indecipherable hash tags.
âWeâre accustomed to recruits demanding attention,â Coach Smart said. âBut, never before have we seen them demand attention so quickly.â
According to staff sources, the commit got out of bed around 10:30 this morning and informed his mother he would become a Bulldog. When she asked him which school, indicating that several schools have a bulldog as a mascot, her son looked perplexed and became angry because the Bulldog coach had not called to congratulate him.
âI told him they probably didnât even know,â his mother told sources. âHe told me he was going to decommit. He said he was going to Mississippi State instead.â
When the recruitâs mother told him Stateâs mascot was the Bulldogs, the recruit muttered, âWell shitâ and stomped from the room to play X-Box. No timetable has been set for the recruit to sit in front of his student body and pull hats or toboggans from a bag.
The reversal of the decision on which school to attend is thought to be the fastest ever in the history of recruiting. The unofficial record belongs to Jeremy Dreckensnicker of Idaho Falls who said âUniversity of ââ and then changed his mind. Because the schoolâs name was never officially announced, Dreckensnicker had to settle for the official record after changing his mind yet again that afternoon while eating rocky road ice cream at the Cold Stone Creamery with his girlfriend Betty Lou Siklowski.
