Committed to fully 33.33333% of the Pac-12 at one point or another. Announced his final destination, Washington, on national TV the day before LOI day (but not really). Signed with UCLA on NSD less than 24 hours later.

A five-star defensive end was committed to an in-state school for over a year. He loved the school, but became concerned when a writer for a recruiting site covering a rival school planted the idea in his head that the school to which he was committed actually had a secret commitment from another defensive end and wasn’t telling him, because the school didn’t want to give the impression that the position was too crowded.

The recruiting writer convinced him to get revenge on the school to which he was committed. They concocted a plan in which the player kept telling the school he was still committed, all the while planning to switch his commitment to the rival on Signing Day.

On Signing Day, the player noticed the other guy was committing after himself. This bolstered his belief that the school was prepared to sign them both. So the long-time commitment decided to go through with the plan and faxed his letter to the in-state rival, burning the team to which he had been committed.

Of course, the recruiting writer who hatched the plan was lying. The “secret commitment” was never committed in-state and signed with a school out West.

Who was that? I’m quite curious.

bp. DALLAS – A state district judge Friday told 12 teen-agers they had committed more armed robberies in six months than Bonnie and Clyde committed in their lifetimes and then sentenced 10 of them, including six members of the 1988 Carter High School state championship football team, to prison terms ranging from two to 25 years.

During the later Cooper years, a kid committed to and signed with USC. However, the kids aunt/mother worked in the athletic department and was dating the head hoop’tey baal coach. Said coach was fired the day before signing day, so the aunt/mother destroyed the LOI when it arrived from the fax machine. She then called one of the coaches at Ohio State, as the recruit had shown a lot of interest in the school and enjoyed the visit, and effectively gift wrapped him to Columbus.
