I don't want to beat a dead horse with AJ, but let me try to break it down as simply as I can. I will start by saying that I know AJ very well personally so this information comes straight from him. He committed to Miami back when Shannon was still here. He had a good relationship with Shannon and then de-committed/committed to FSU after the Golden staff had been here for a few months a did not give him a single call. The new staff began talking to him again once he committed to FSU, so he committed back to Miami. Through the summer and into the NCAA investigation news, the coaches from Miami weren't calling him and he was the one initiating all conversations with the staff. They had never hinted to him that he would have a potential problem with his grades, even though he knew it might be as well as several other members of his family. He took the ACT and scored a 22 on it, which is a good score, so he thought he was in the clear with Miami. Again, throughout this entire situation he would be the one calling coach Williams, not vice versa. They never made it seem as though he was an important recruit to them. Then, out of the blue, they told him that he wouldn't be able to get in for this year, but they gave him the option to go prep. AJ felt disrespected that they really didn't talk to him throughout the process and then waited to the end to let him know. So he kind of felt like "why would I do them a favor after they screwed me"... hence why he went to Marshall.
