Speculation on my part but I think there was also a degree of some face-saving going on. I feel bad for the kid in a way. It's always been his dream to play at Bama and something got in the way that probably should never have come up. It's really kind of sad.
At 17 most guys aren't fully mature.

agreed... had the PC not been scheduled, whatever happened might have had time to get worked out... remember he had wanted to push it back earlier this week but was getting some pressure from someone to have it today.

I agree if it was strictly his decision but he said his parents knew and he had discussed it with them on the way. I would have thought they would have had better judgement than that. I mean they obviously werent thinking about how this was going to impact him either. He commits to them at a later date no big deal, but they had to know doing it in this fashion would make it harder on their son. My son would have handled it differently if for no other reason than because I made him. He wouldnt act that way regardless of how upset the coach made him or me. There is a right and wrong way to handle everything the parents chose poorly. This isnt the 17 yr old kids fault its his parents.
