I really don't see how you can blame Ice Harris for this. The kid had second thoughts on his commitment and is going to rethink it. This in no way is Harris bad mouthing UM.
Last year BTW DB Michael Johnson committed to FSU during the summer, then he decommitted at the end of the season and went to Marshall. Do you think Harris bad mouthed FSU there?
We just don't know.
But it's easy to imagine the conversation.
Son, how do you feel about your commitment?
Coach, I'm not sure. I keep getting more and more calls from other schools.
Well, son, you committed pretty early, considering word is just getting out of your abilities.
Coach, what should I do?
Well, son, I don't want to advise you to take your commitment lightly, but sometimes, we act rashly. If you think you want to learn more about what other options are out there, then maybe you should let yourself get exposed and recruited for a while before deciding where you want to spend your college years. You never know how things will work out with any school, so getting to know a few staffs can be wise, and it's hard to do that if you shut down your recruiting too early.
Coach, thanks. I think I'll decommit.
Son, that's up to you.
