re: Hill update

t's just a shame (if the silent commit to AU is indeed true) how the pressures of recruiting and the Internet can impact these kids' lives. Being from Louisiana and Baton Rouge especially, Hill has to hide his true feelings and his commitment because he's scared of the hometown and home state reaction. He has to lie to a reporter about his favorites because he's scared the LA locals will hammer him for it. Again, this is all assuming that he really is a silent commit to AU. It's easy for all of us to sit behind a keyboard and take shots at these kids because most if not all of us weren't big-time high school recruits that had 10 or 15 different schools in our ears, giving us millions of reasons every weekend on why we should play for that school. I can't begin to imagine the pressure that ANY of these recruits are under. Everything they do and say is going to be dissected and picked apart by fans, media, coaches, teammates and even family members. And only one fan base is going to be happy while the other 15 fan bases are going to be cussing the kid and degrading him.
Now I'm as big of a recruiting junkie as you'll find, but sometimes I wish college football, recruiting, camp circuits and social media wasn't as advanced as it is today because the level of intensity and scrutiny on these young men is unbelievable. One part of me loves followig recruiting daily, getting updates and discussing rumors. The other part of me wishes the Internet would go away and that these kids would just let everybody know on NSD where they were going so there could be no chatter, rumors, lies or bad-mouthing going on during the days leading up. These are teenagers, after all, and their decisions should go without ridicule
I don't think it is possible for you to be more wrong

Yeah, because Dee Finley never caught shite for choosing Florida, despite playing his high school ball in Auburn.

Well, its too late now. He'll probably wish he was already out of the state. Football is some serious stuff in the South. Crazy, but true!

Why does everyone just assuming he is lying.
Because there is information from recruiting "insiders" that say he is.
I hope these aren't the same recruiting insiders that said Trent Richardson was all LSU and Debose was almost for sure picking LSU

everything suggest it is, but LSU "insiders" have missed or just didn't want to tell the truth a lot in the last 2 or 3 recruiting cycles.

The silent commit line in recruiting is getting stale.
