Committed to ND and flushed an Alabama recruitment letter down the toilet in a Vine (We'll always have "Roll Toilet..."). He was active in recruiting other players to the school both online and offline. Then "poof," he flipped to North Carolina. It wasn't disbelieving, given that he grew up a Tar Heel, but it was unexpected given the fact he seemed pretty solid with his commitment.
