These are always great.
The Super Secret Double Double Cross, by Bud Elliott
A five-star defensive end was committed to an in-state school for over a year. He loved the school, but became concerned when a writer for a recruiting site covering a rival school planted the idea in his head that the school to which he was committed actually had a secret commitment from another defensive end and wasn't telling him, because the school didn't want to give the impression that the position was too crowded.
The recruiting writer convinced him to get revenge on the school to which he was committed. They concocted a plan in which the player kept telling the school he was still committed, all the while planning to switch his commitment to the rival on Signing Day.
On Signing Day, the player noticed the other guy was committing after himself. This bolstered his belief that the school was prepared to sign them both. So the long-time commitment decided to go through with the plan and faxed his letter to the in-state rival, burning the team to which he had been committed.
Of course, the recruiting writer who hatched the plan was lying. The "secret commitment" was never committed in-state and signed with a school out West.
