This was one of those recruitments where the guy pledges OSU, never wavers even while taking visits, constantly reaffirms his committment and still people are surprised.

Well, to be fair when he committed he literally stated this was the beginning of his process and I believe that he would be taking visits. So it wasn't complete conjecture.

Well, Bay, you know that without me the internet would be one long orgasmic bundle of fun and nothing would ever get done. Like football.Some may consider you a blight on the internet, and they may well be right about that, but that's good stuff right there.
You're welcome.

First impressions don't affect you as much as others. The reason he was labeled as soft was more to do with the first 3 months of his recruitment, not the last 3 months. It carried over. Sometimes it's hard to let go of what you initially know, like when he said he was just getting started and osu was more his leader than anything when he committed, or in October when he said there's a good chance Miami was going to flip him.

True, UpNorth, true. Even the comment I quoted "Still committed to OSU and not sure if Miami is in the running" shows that somewhat. I mean, if you're committed there is no "in the running" right? :)
I'm beginning to think that the bias of the authors showed through more in his recruitment than others. To some he was 100% OSU, to others he was open. My completely biased and not-based-on-any-facts opinion is that the guy was always pretty solid to OSU, but had a hard time telling others "no", especially his local team (Miami) and coaches with whom he had prior relationships. That and the report that his family was pushing him to stay closer to home made the waters more murky than they actually were.

Is this is the story about the Florida visit that never happened a few weeks back? (I don't have premium.)

It makes it hard for him to flip to another school if he's not interested in visiting other schools...

So how many more schools will be rumored to get visits from Davis, only to be told he won't go? So many reporters just don't want or believe he's going to OSU. Its getting laughable
