you said he was going to experience "culture shock" at OSU.  You then said that he wouldn't experience culture shock at Syracuse because there are a few kids from Florida and they play a game or two per  year in Florida, as if those things are enough to alleviate culture shock.  That's absurd.  Also, bonus points for asserting that CULTURE shock has "nothing" to do with location, climate, and CULTURE.

You should also avoid statements where you claim to know exactly what a kid (or anyone, for that matter), unless you are privy to that thinking.  You don't know that Davis had bad intentions.  Besides, it was an open secret he was pining for a Louisville offer and was open to other offers.  Surely this fact did not catch the coaching staff off guard.  Yet, the staff still extended the offer for an official visit.

Flips are part of recruiting.  Every - and I mean EVERY - school deals with it, both in gaining kids and losing kids.  It is just the way the game is played.  By all means, lament losing a kid you had high hopes for (I'm still nursing wounds from the Zach Allen decommit), but don't lash out at the kid.  Or, as a wise man once said, "don't hate the player, hate the game".
