2026 TX RB Legend Bey has signed!!!

In his autobiography "They Call Me the Assassin" Jack Tatum wrote about wanting to go to Syracuse or something but his mom was so impressed by Woody Hayes she told him he was going to Ohio State.

Also, Chris Speilman's famous story about telling his father he was going to dUMb and his father telling him to go back upstairs and come down when he made the right decision.

So I guess it works both ways.

True but neither went so far as to sign for the other school

It’s slightly different when the reason is a bag of money. I don’t know if the money makes it better or worse but it does change things.

Yeah, I don't remember the specifics but years ago at an all-star game a kid announced for either LSU or Bama and the mom was visibly upset because she wanted him to pick the other school. I don't remember how it turned out, but parents strong arming their kid into going to the school they want is nothing new. Not saying that's what happened here because as of now it's an unverified rumor, but I won't immediately dismiss it as "cope" either.
