Burgess Becker Announcement

I don't think anyone talked these kids out of commiting because they were never going to in the first place. Just a publicity stunt, probably orchestrated by someone else.
 
@InsideTheU: Shawn Burgess-Becker & Calvin Ridley changed their minds about announcing. Both said they knew before today that they wouldnt announce

@InsideTheU: It doesnt look good for the Florida Fire 7-on-7 program, which appeared to force early decisions to attract more media at their event

@InsideTheU: Hope these types of issues are corrected in the future because it's hard to take a program seriously when things like this happen

From Cam on Twitter:

@underwoodsports: Out here at #Fire tryouts. Just talked to Shawn Burgess-Becker. When asked if we'd see a commitment he said and I quote "I dunno. We'll see"

@underwoodsports: More Burgess-Becker "Me and Ridley just talked about a lot of stuff. When were ready, we'll let y'all know."

@underwoodsports: I then asked "Is that time when you let us know coming today?" Burgess-Becker's Response: "Probably yes. Probably not."

@underwoodsports: I'm gone

WTF does probably yes. Probably not mean? Does this kid realize he just said nothing?

Should've added Cam's follow-up tweet. That'll tell you all you need to know about what happened.

@UnderwoodSports: In short, we just got played. I'm mad. And, I'm leaving.

Bro. I don't get mad at HS kids in general. And, y'all know I'm a teacher.

I almost cussed SBB out when he said that. I am HOT. I can't believe I went to that **** event that was......let me chill.

I'm ****ed TF off right now. Not that they're not Canes. That they didn't announce and played the 25+ bloggers/media who showed up SPECIFICALLY for their announcement.

Never. Again.

Sucks Cam. Good move not freaking out though.
 
You know it's bad when mother****ing Bud Elliot is making sense.

UNPOPULAR OPINION ALERT:
Met Bud at SFE tryouts. He's ACTUALLY a smart, balanced writer. So long as he's not running the TomahawkNation account. Then, 2nd biggest troll ever. Next to AlligatorArmy.

He's smart (very smart) and makes good points objectively.

I'm happy they didn't announce to be fair... All prospects should wait until signing day or near it unless you're an EE... It's an emotional roller coaster... This early is insane... Wait it out... Pressure from everywhere and the fear of uncertainty are a handful...
 
I hope that people that didn't want "early commits" are happy...

I still think we are at the top of their list, just gotta keep recruiting the **** out of them.
