It will give Elam a chance to smash him.
katz, I agree with you to some extent, however, even at 17 your word should mean something. If your not sure, then don't commit until you are. I doubt Stoops told him he had to commit to UK, or we were not going to offer him a scholarship.
OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!
The only good thing about this is he didn't wait until January or February to do it. No one would begrudge him for choosing Alabama over us at all. It's the way it happened that makes him look bad. If you're not sure about the school you want to attend then simply don't make a commitment. Take your visits and then make a choice when you're sure and don't lead a school like UK on. He's proven that his word is worthless and he's loyal to no one. Not a good look at all.
It begs the question... why now? What has recently happened to make him change his mind? If this came after an Alabama visit then I would understand, but this is some weird timing to me...?
It's Bama, no need to conjure up explanations as to why he switched. Once you see the waterfalls, the trophies, the rings Saban lays out in front of you, the ride in the Benz, the NFL pitch etc...it's hard for a 17 year old to resist having the opportunity to fulfill a dream. Gotta move on.

Why get excited about someone at this stage in the game? I'd rather be excited about the wildcats that chose to be wildcats and are busting their butts to elevate the program, doesn't happen overnight but to be honest, no one has any idea how Jones will turn out under that system ala Coker.It's easy to say "Gotta move on" but reality is this program needs something good to happen and losing the guy who has a lot of people excited about the future is not a good sign. After the last two seasons of collapsing at the end we only have recruits to be excited about.
Except cal doesn't recruit Duke, UNCs, or even for that matter Alabamas commits. A kid makes a pledge in basketball it's done. Unless they formally reopen their recruitment.

I hear you, this thing smells a bit rotten to me. I have a strong feeling that there's more to this story than what we know, and what we may ever know.
Im with ya Matt.
Go back to wherever you came from an let people vent. Who gives a ish about Terrance jones or Cal right now.Come on, man. The kid 2nd guessed his decision and realized that going to Alabama is a once in a lifetime opportunity. There is nothing rotten, its Bama football vs UK football. Pretty simple.
I sure hope that many of you had the same reaction of cheating and hate towards Terrance Jones and Cal as you do Mac Jones and Bama. What TJ did was INFINITELY worse than what Mac did. Stop being hypocrites.
I'm pretty sure UK recruited Terrence Jones all along and didn't slide in and steal a committed recruit. Word was he had called Calipari and told him he was coming before the press conference. And then afterwards he realized he screwed up and changed his mind the next day. The only thing these two situations have in common is they both involved a recruit named Jones. Nice try there bud.Come on, man. The kid 2nd guessed his decision and realized that going to Alabama is a once in a lifetime opportunity. There is nothing rotten, its Bama football vs UK football.

Didn't Kengera visit Bama? How did he resist?It's Bama, no need to conjure up explanations as to why he switched.

Yes. And we don't know all the behind the scenes conversations those guys had together...was Jones upfront, was Hinshaw straight lied to? Does Hinshaw truly believe Bama is a bad choice for Mac?Based on the above tweet and Mac's decommitment tweet, it appears he really doesn't know the definition of "respect."
Maybe he just decided that he did want to play in a bowl game after all.
I get what you're saying but at the end of the day it's about their future. Mac Jones probably at the time really thought UK was his best option and now he's improved and there's better choices that weren't there when UK was around first. As options and information change people should be allowed to change their mind.
The hate for this kid from the same people who were gushing over him a month ago are guilty of the same thing Jones is. There's only 2 ways to change this. Either quit paying attention to verbal recruits or get rid of them all together.
Mac can EABOD'sThis. Anyone with a brain cell was waiting on this shoe to drop. The problem was his constant reassurance that he wasnt going anywhere......then he does.
I dont blame the staff for being pissed. But its dumb to subtweet the kid. Im guessing hes truly shut it down now, and out of the blue. Thats probably what drew the reaction, but still....some things you just dont put in writing; especially not on social media.
Pretty sure Jones's family doesn't need the money...but it does suck that the UK administration was once again asleep at the wheel on this coa thing

Even more classy. Do you wish everyone around you a serious injury when someone makes you angry? I hope you don't act on it, but some people are like that.Cool. Hopefully you get one too.
Because we are always hosting committed basketball recruits on visits right? Football is a different animal. I guess my cave has better internet and news reports than yours...Absolutely 100% bullshit. Come out of your cave.
