SIAP...
Plantation (FL) South Plantation High School RB Alex Collins is set to announce his college decision on Fox Sports on Monday night.
"They contacted him to do a recruiting show, talk about what's going on, and instead he chose to do the (announcement) deal on TV," Collins' coach, Doug Gatewood said.
Gatewood says Collins has come to accept the fact that whatever decision he makes will leave a whole lot of fans unhappy.
"The fans are killing him now - he got on twitter, opened it up that he wanted people to tweet him and it's getting ugly," Gatewood said. "He's a sensitive kid.
"Sony Michel has been recruited since eighth grade; Alex has been recruited since a year ago. He hasn't developed this thick skin. He wants people to be okay with his decision. He might look 35, but he's 18."
Collins most recent official visit was to Arkansas, and he attended the UM-Duke game unofficially last week.
"Alex swears he was the first on the court (when fans rushed the court after the game) ... and my own kids were going crazy too watching on TV, are huge Miami fans," Gatewood said. "He told me they had a cheer for him - every school does that, though. That's the hard part for him, that everyone treats him well on the visit, that every program is good. It's hard to differentiate."
Asked if Miami is still in it, Gatewood said, "Yes. I'd say the only team that's been out of it is Florida State, and that's only because they recruited my quarterback, came in and didn't ask to see Alex. It's Miami, Arkansas, Florida and Wisconsin. He'll say Texas, but they came down and I haven't heard from them since."
The bottom line here?
Stay tuned for Monday.
