This is what it comes down to for me. I don't get caught up in recruiting because of stuff like this especially in the NIL era where the bag is being passed out in the open instead of under the table. Don't kid yourself either, the South Carolina collective definitely put a package together for him. Until SU can do the same, this will continue to happen. However, this is another topic altogether that I have a lot to say about.

The staff got left at the altar without a Plan B. Time is the most precious commodity that we have and it's something that hadn't been communicated to Sellers and his camp. I think everyone would have been ok with him decommitting and saying he was going to explore all of his options rather than wait until NSD to say that he's not going to SU. At least then, Babers and Beck could have sought out a Plan B. Now, they're in a situation where they have to hope there isn't any attrition after Spring practice. You might be able to get away with not having an extra QB in the room. Weirder things have happened.

Lastly, the Emily's tweet was as wrong as it gets. Once players became eligible for compensation, they're no longer kids. They're semi professionals. Are curses and other vitriol unnecessary? Of course. Criticism isn't. Sellers flipping isn't even the worst story of NSD. You had a player from Texas decommit from two schools in a matter of 48 hours before going to Oklahoma.

EDIT: Attrition and/or injury after Spring Practice.
