I've thoroughly enjoyed this thread.
The complete opposite of butthurt.

FSU would be better off just cutting the guy loose if he wants out. He hasn't enrolled and its not worth opening yourself up to negativity. Take the high road and move on IMO.

No way im cutting him loose. THey could've filled that spot with someone else. They will pay for it in the long run so he should have to pay to. JMO. Unless he wants to come to Bama.

He probably has someone stupid whispering things into his ear like half these recruits out there (such as whoever told Reuben Foster to get a tattoo)
When he gets to FSU I bet he settles down and doesn't want to transfer. If Jimbo gets him down there, I bet he treats him pretty well to make him more comfortable too his first year

If they get the in home visit he will be ok. Don't know why the hell he would tell what schools he wants to attend if he granted a release though.

Looks like MT will be re-announcing next week that he is firmly committed to FSU

Well the old wouldn't won't to set a precedent argument isn't true it appears it has already happened in the past and guess who the teams were Georgia and Florida St. Georgia released Corey Simon from his letter of intent and he went on to play for FSU.

Simon Heading To Florida State? He's Not Saying By JORGE MILIAN Staff Writer, July 22, 1995 Former Ely football player Corey Simon remained mum Friday on his plans to gain release from a commitment to the University of Georgia. Simon, a high school All-America defensive tackle, signed a national letter-of-intent in February with the Bulldogs but has had a change of heart amid questions concerning his recruitment by Georgia. A report in Thursday's Atlanta Journal-Constitution said Georgia planned to release Simon from his scholarship, but a spokeswoman from Georgia Athletic Director Vince Dooley's office said there had been no change in the player's situation as of Friday afternoon.

Players get cold feel and bad advice in their ear. I'm sure someone talked him down and Jimbo did all he could to convince him to go to FSU all over again.

Not much more than FSU is meeting with him either today or in the next couple of days and everything should be wrapped up.
I believe his mother quelled the rebellion as his parents are divorced
eta: I wouldn't be shocked if Kiffen contacted his father in between FSU's spring game and his mom leaving the Country

These mothers are usually the problem in recruiting. They rarely seem to care what the son wants or what is best for him.... they always seem to care what they feel would fit them most. It has happened too many times, where these recruits are being "forced" to go where their mother wants them too.
For me that is bad parenting. You're making your son (who by the time he is finished there will be an adult) live with your decision and not his own. That could possibly lead to future resentment...

Or that's the dominant culture in african american households. I don't see an issue with it.

What ignorance. I guess that only happens to African Americans.... oh wait Eddie Vanderdoes.
I'm starting to see you will say literally anything to support whatever your agenda is, even in the face of common sense. I wasn't speaking specifically about MT, I was speaking in general. These mothers are more and more forcing their sons to do what they want instead of thinking what is the best situation for all. The more I see these things the more I see that the fathers are the level-headed ones looking at the best fit for the child, while the mothers are more concerned with how it effects them.
Of course you wouldn't see an issue with it as long as your team benefits. I see an issue with it because it isn't right even if my team does.

What? It's pretty common knowledge that african american students often decide based on which school their mothers decide. It's a cultural thing, african american women usually are the head of the household.
It's also human nature for parents to play a large role in where their son/daughter receives his/her education. This is nothing new - even though mom's decision plays a larger role in many african american households.
