I don't mind people decommitting but when you've been committed for so long and you decommit so late that really puts the team you decommitted from in a bad spot.

I just don't understand that kind of move because now you just sent that team scrambling. Like you had to see if Georgia was for real? If it was going to be Georgia just picked Georgia to begin with

Why commit in the first place? Just wait until you are sure.

Not really sure I understand the decommit in the first place. Ohio State will be loaded, yet he should still see some time early in his career similar to Nick Bosa. The only thing I can come up with is the Georgia/Alabama staff convinced him staying closer to home was best for him. Either way, losing him certainly sucks, but it’s not a devastating loss.

That's what I mean... I'm sorry but it just feels like some of these kids commit so that they can lock a place in before they look around.

Especially to be this late in the process it just sucks

And what's wrong with that, locking in a place? If the coaches offer you are doing a non-binding acceptance. Everyone in the game understands this is a possibility, and if you are at OSU you know that every single Southern commit you get is going to be a 'hang on until NSD' commit.

A lot can change in a short amount of time - for many, distance becomes more and more of an issue as decision day looms. They're high school kids, let's accept that. Coaches push kids out all the time....I'm fine with this, I hope Brenton finds the best fit for him and best of luck to the kid, all signs point to him being an excellent person and he deserves this opportunity.

Bama losing to Auburn hurt OSU. If Bama wins, Brenton likely never visits, as the Tide would've been in the SEC Championship Game & unable to host him for an official visit. OSU was also holding out to host Brenton for his last official visit. Did that hurt the Bucks as well? Probably... kid from the south with plenty in his ear tempting him to stay close to home. If the Buckeyes brought him up for an official earlier, could this end up differently? Who knows....

Oh it's a big loss! We now have no DEs(right now) in this class. The fsct that Cox could see the field in year 1 shows that we don't have as much depth as this year.

Idk if one visit did it. Bama and UGA have been in his ear all year. And what also adds to the fact is that he has friends committed to both teams who've been in his ear even more than the coaches. This was always an uphill battle

I still have full confidence in the staff finding a completely suitable replacement for his spot.
