Zadock Dinkelmann, a four-star quarterback for the class of 2018, announced Tuesday that he has decommitted from LSU.

The 6-5, 215-pound pro-style quarterback from Somerset, TX committed to the Tigers in February of 2014 when he was just 14-years old and still in middle school.

Oh well. This is what happens when kids commit at a young age.

I wouldn't accept commitments from anything less than a junior. They never pan out when they make a life decision at 13-14 years old. They are children.

I'm sure the melt will be strong, but whatever. He either wants to be here next year or he doesn't. The program is bigger than one player. Besides, the two QBs this year could be better. Perhaps he thinks the same. All that said, 13 months is a long time, especially for a high school kid.

It just can't be a good thing that grown men are recruiting/offering 7th & 8th graders. I won't say anything about the parents, but Good Lord! It's a sad situation we find ourselves in today! I reluctantly do recall, however, that is how Dale got Shaq to LSU.

Shaq was a different creature all together. Dale stayed in contact with he and his family and Shaq was a military brat true to his word

Dear colleges, please stop recruiting babies. At least wait until they're older.

I guess he came to the realization that he can't play with the big boys.

Seriously, do we really want a qb named Dinkleman leading our team?

Seriously, does it really matter what the kid's name is? I personally could care less what what a recruits name is. He could be named Chief Dirty Bottom of the No Wipe-um Tribe as far as I'm concerned.

The only QB I felt we HAD to get was Brennan. As long as we have Brennan we set for the next 4 years at QB. Brennan is THAT legit.

It makes no sense for an 8th grader to be committed anyway.

Totally forgot about that guy. He doesn't appear to have a chest.

He was a Cam Cameron guy. No Cam, no Zadock. I guess he see's the writing on the wall with Brennan coming in and didn't want to buckle it up and compete for a job. Any QB that is scared of competition is not LSU caliber............

That being said, I don't like losing a big 4 star Pro-Style QB that can throw the football. Far too few of those around here lately.....................

I wish the kid luck. He committed to Les and Cam. They're gone now. He has every right to look out for his own best interests. That said, I hope he doesn't go to another SEC school, especially that one in northern Alabama.
