It is very possible that he committed to the coaches and then got home and got cold feet, but because of his coach/school policy about being committed he's pulling back and saying he never committed. Bottom line it is a very weird situation and hopefully he ends up at NU.
Imo a player who decommits is very telling of what type of character they possess. Often times I look at decommits as a service to our coaching staff in exposing a kids true character. Now there are many exceptions. But I think more times than not a kid who recommits ends up being a non contributor.
I also think parents play a huge disservice. Especially for a school like Nebraska trying to pull kids out of the south. Just look at the DE who flopped from us on signing day last year. He had his mind set on Nebraska but his parents wouldn't let him. When we do get parents on campus though there is usually a high percentage for commitment.
