Not mutual, but this staff is still trying to build relationships with 2019 kids.

I don't think it's too much of a coincidence that we took on Watkins and immediately this kid de-commits from the same position.

If he chose to go the ATH route, he's behind Watkins and Toney -- neither of which he's going to beat out at Slot-Receiver/APB.

If he chose to go the WR route, he's for sure behind: Grimes, Cleveland and Van Jefferson and probably behind Swain and Hammond -- it looks even more bleak if we land Copeland. (I don't think we do anymore.)

Not saying we don't want him, but I'm sure he wants a better opportunity to start -- and honestly his de-commitment was kind of weird.

''I hope you find it in your heart to understand that there are people who depend on me for their well-being'' is a pretty bizarre thing for a 17 - 18 year old kid to say for a de-commit.
