Disagree.
A does of perspective would be healthy right about now. How many times have we seen premiere out-of-state oral commits succumb to hometown pressure, whether it's the media, extended family, high school teammates (including their go-to receiver), and even his high school coaching staff (I think I read his coach brought him into the office and called Moron for him) - ****in' everyone in the hometown in his ear and in his mind. That's a ton of pressure on a 17 year old kid trying to graduate high school, lead his team to a state championship, and squeeze in some time here and there for some pussoi.
A statement like "I'm 100% committed to Miami," and you're the hometown turncoat. A statement like "I'm still committed to Miami, but I owe it to myself to explore all my options," and you're sending mixed signals to The Don and Co. A statement like his mother made perhaps gives the kid some breathing room, as he reaffirms his commitment to the coaches, but still gives homers some cause for optimism. But most importantly, it gives the kid the breathing room he needs to get through the season and his senior year.
I believe this was more about buying himself four relatively unmolested months. The statement "leave me alone, I'll deal with all of it after the season" accomplishes that to the greatest extent possible.
We have read his and his mother's statements over the past few months. They always seem measured, calculated, and appropriately edited (whether by them personally or a friend/advisor).
Until we hear of the staff extending offers to other QBs in the next few weeks, or unless he actually starts doing interviews and playing the recruiting game(s), I'm gonna keep on keepin' the faith in a kid who was born to be a Cane and who, by most accounts (on this board anyway), is one of the few young men these days who get such virtues as commitment, honor and the Golden Rule.
So I will stand with the "step away from the ledge" crowd.
It's great to be ... again.
