Is that the record for quickest decommit/recommit?

Ellis has that kind of special breakaway-comeback speed

Huh, I've seen a few people post that he was gonna be this year's Garbutt, but yeesh, that was quick. Nice to see the sky un-fall within a couple days.

I hope he stays with us because I think he can be a great player but call me a little skeptical until Feb.

Guess the QB competition didn't get to him.

Well, it seems it won't include him, right? He's (re)joining the good guys as an ATH.

I'm so bullish on this kid. Would love to see him add a little size, but he is absolutely electric. And the fact that he is willing to keep an open mind re a position change says a lot. Great job by the staff bringing him back into the fold. LET'S GO...

This was a dig at the bad OP in the first decommitment thread.

Too Druck to Funk | 9 years 2 months # ^

Ah. I see. Well played. Leg!

did he come back as an Athlete?

From what I can gather from the interwebz, they aren't locking him into a position. Could be a QB or could be something else. Kids got talent.

......so I'm supposed to tweet at him now, right?

Rule number 1: always tweet recruits anything you think at any moment.
Rule number 2: the key play is the best place to discuss politics on the internet
Rule number 3: something something, Lawson transfer

A commitment helps build momentum and positive publicity/energy about the program. No one else was doing it so Ellis decommitted so that he could commit again and help the train

Dude was just doing us a solid, clearly

/s if that wasn't obvious

I stopped reading your tag comment after "Fan of Hokies" and gave a leg before I noticed your favor for the dark side in your pro teams..................
