I don't think this is groundbreaking...

Onward and upward

The theory is as old as dirt. No kidding. The player actually saying "I see improvement but nah" is what's interesting. These are usually cliche filled respect my decision type tweets. Not this one.

I want to say, actually we'll thought out and professional- but cynical me truly thinks that is just chatgpt

I'm still figuring this out.

He's a five star recruit, he can go anywhere. He will be in the SEC most likely next season. Arizona makes zero sense for him unless they have a multi-million NIL to put in writing for his services.

Meh, if he was going to say the quiet part out loud, it would be about how he got an offer of a higher guaranteed financial payment to go somewhere else than he was going to get at Arizona.

Yeah, commit somewhere you don't want to go...make everyone turn their heads...then the big dawgs come in with an NIL bidding war...make your decision and flip commitment. It's All In The Game, manufacture the bidding war for your commitment. Not saying that is what Rushing did. I don't know him or the history, but year, a possibility.

Um, not good enough? A 5* player might have just been the difference in the game and upset USC. It money, its always money.

A 5⭐ decommit.

Is it better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all? Asking for a friend.

I think that's generally lust, not love.
