re: Recruit decommits from USC after Lane Kiffin defers his scholarship

He only has to wait 5 months if he still wants to go to USC for free. Not exactly the end of the world.

I could certainly understand being upset and wanting to go somewhere else though.

The point is that he did the work to graduate early so he could get in early for winter conditioning, spring practices, etc. It's a huge advantage for an incoming recruit. It gives them an extra 7 months of training before fall camp begins. The USC coaches knew he was an EE. I understand that it happens but that doesn't change the fact that it's the wrong thing to do.
