OL Issiah Walker decommitted
- Thread starter GamecockJL
- Start date
Looks like Texas swayed him if he’s in Texas and flashing the Horns. Haven’t even seen them in the mix or that they’ve offered. Maybe it’s just other guys he’s around. Regardless, he said he was done with his visits and firmly committed 3 days ago. He definitely doesn’t understand what 100% means.

That's why I try (key word here is try) not to put any emotional stock in a verbal from a teenager. I don't count them as Gamecocks until we get their name on the proverbial dotted line.
This is why I say that a new commitment is "provisionally" good news. I know it irks people, but it is the literal truth until they actually participate, especially now.
Something about this just didn't feel right from the beginning. Maybe it was his offer list at that time, I don't know, but we'll move on to the next one.
Doesn’t sound like MarShawn is too sure of his commitment either
Right. And usually we aren’t turning top recruits at the last minute but some of ours always flip to other schools
It wasn't an offerable commitment.

signing the letter of intent
it just means more
(It used to mean a lot more pre-portal)
And for that reason, I'm sticking with "participate", pending NCAA rule revisions. I understand they have recently come out with some "clarifications", but the effects of those are yet to be seen.
We are the steal-ee, not he steal-er - most of the time.
Yeah, it's probably not a good idea to think these kids are anything but kids.
It does feel the ones with dramatic recruitments don't fare as well.

I wait until they make it through the tunnel in uniform on Game day. Then I watch for them to enter the portal on or before before the end of their first year.
His name would be removed from our list immediately if it was me. Character matters.
I'd be a horrible recruiter. I'd only accept commitments from kids who shut down their recruiting. Any recruit that took any other visits after committing would have their offer revoked.
But I would venture to guess you would miss out on a lot of recruits, sadly to say.
There was a thread on here about it the other day, but it was sort of nebulous to me.

DECOMMITING That’s an interesting word. It’s root word is commit. I seems to me a word that is a contradiction all by itself. Oh well, who cares about the meaning of anything. If you don’t like what it means, change the meaning. Similar to; if you don’t like this country..........
I would imagine that was coined to describe what happens in college athletics. I've never heard it used in any other context.
Let's start using renege. Start the trend here.
Isiah Walker reneges on promise to sign letter of intent to attend the University of South Carolina.
It all very much reminds me of the opening scene from "There's something about Mary"
TED: Hey, Renise.
:She barely looks at him as he approaches, just drags on her smoke:
RENISE: Hey.
TED: So what's up?
RENISE: Eh.
TED: Great. Great...
So listen, uh, I was wondering if maybe you
wanted to go to the prom you know, with
me.
:Renise looks unenthused:
TED (cont'd): It's no big deal, whatever I mean, if you
want.
RENISE: See, the thing is, I heard a rumor that
this guy I like was gonna ask me.
TED: Uh-huh.
RENISE: Yeah, so...I'm gonna wait and see what
happens there...But that sounds great,
yeah.
:Ted nods, confused:
TED: Okay.
(beat)
So is that a yes or a no?
RENISE: I think I was very clear, Ted. If
everything else falls apart, maybe.
:Renise throws down her butt and storms off:
TED: I'm gonna hold you to that!
