I'm not a big fan of ripping 17 year old kids that want to think about their college choice even though it's disappointing. Boubacar did something similar last year when Carr retired, but then quickly re-committed to the Wolverines.
Will the same thing happen this time? It's a possibility but I doubt it. There has been a ton of pressure on Kevin to stay in state and play at Virgina Tech. Penn State has also been rumored to be recruiting Kevin hard. Either way, it's too bad and I think another reason why football needs an early signing period or some type of verbal commitment rule that doesn't start until the start of their Senior season.
Now what? Since Kevin committed early and now has de-committed early, Michigan has the chance to land a couple "available" high profile QB recruits: Tate Forcier and/or Eugene Smith. Both players are highly rated dual threat QB's and both are still seriously considering Michigan.
So here's the questions of the hour: Why did those two guys keep Michigan on their list after we got two verbals commitments? Why did we keep recruiting/offering these guys?
Maybe the worst kept secret was that Kevin was never a firm commit? I can't see why Michigan would have 4 offers out to Quarterbacks in a class where they most likely will take around 20 total players.
More bad news on another 5 star recruit Darius Wintson: (kevin was lowered to 4 stars at this years summer camps) :
What stands out about Ole Miss?
"I just love that whole coaching staff. I feel like they are going to turn it around at Ole Miss. I would love to be a part of that. I plan on taking an official visit to Ole Miss on Labor day weekend, when they play Memphis."
Anymore official visits on tap?
"That is it."
Should people read anything into that?
"I guess you could say that, yes sir (laugh)."
