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.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/LEFT] [LEFT][SIZE=13px][FONT=arial][COLOR=#000000]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.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/LEFT] [LEFT][SIZE=13px][FONT=arial][COLOR=#000000]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.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/LEFT] [LEFT][SIZE=13px][FONT=arial][COLOR=#000000]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.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/LEFT] [LEFT][SIZE=2][FONT=arial][COLOR=#000000][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
