Agree , really weird ... these kids have been recruited for awhile, and often make three or more visits to schools.

They 'visit' expecting to be offered, and are usually given a week to make up their mind. ... Recruiting in a slimy business, so who knows what made the kid change his mind. But to say he made his mind up too quick is ????

For Kent's sake, hopefully this doesn't/hasn't cost them another player along the way. ...

It's situations like this that lead to JC/transfer recruiting in the spring. Most schools try to build with HS recruits, but this is what often happens, particularly with the potentially good ones. The big boys string them along.

For the kid, hopefully he knows what he's doing.
