Pretty revealing, well done interview I thought that reveals the madness of recruiting. Is there a psychological questionaire that clarify the tendencies?
You have to really listen to the kid to know where the percentage decision is in their head, and even then its a gamble; he had no intention of coming here because he wanted to experience life outside of Miami for one thing. That he was going to USC one moment (and lead them on as well) before switching to FSU tells you that no one, not even the kid himself, is solid until you get ink.
Some of these "decisions" are as lint in a strong breeze, you can't count on the "fan growing up" leanings to carry the day (hometown Miami kid, Alabama fan growing up, USC for sure, then almost impulsively inks with FSU). He's gone. Let it go.
