I remember when NKemdiche pulled this stunt with Clemson when he came out. Told them if they took like 3-4 of his teammates he would commit and then pulled the rug as soon as they did. LOL. And remember thats how John Franklin ended up at FSU because Alex Collins did the same to them and then left to Arkansas. Then Franklin was pushed out the next year. lol.
I think Manny is too savvy for this and like you said, once **** gets real, its every man for themselves. Its a stunt thats been pulled way too often and doesnt work anymore. I doubt UCF even falls for this if the LB isnt very good.
