[QUOTE="Techster, post: 597257, member: 360"] LOL, come on man. I'm not trying to prove you wrong, I'm just saying what you posted was not accurate on 247's part. We can argue semantics, but those guys got on that plane knowing full well what CPJ's policy was...basically they decommitted to take the scholarship offer at the other school. Look at the pattern of everyone that had their scholarship "pulled": They got on that plane, and committed to the school they went to visit that weekend. I may be wrong (it won't be the first time), but I can't remember a recruit taking a visit to another school just to visit and have their scholarship pulled by CPJ and not having a scholarship at the school they visited. Us fans and the writers at the services can say "CPJ pulled the scholarship" all we want, but in essence recruits knew the policy, "got on that plane" and committed to the other schools. In essence they "decommitted" to take another offer on the table. If you're engaged to someone, and you tell that person "If you get on that plane with Billy, our engagement is off!" Well, by getting on that plane with Billy, your fiancee just basically told you with her actions that she is no longer "committed" to you and "decommitted" to live happily ever after with Billy. You can try to save face and tell people that you broke it off and took the ring back ("Hey, I pulled the scholarship"), but in essence your fiancee's actions pretty much made that moot. As for Damon Mitchell, he was a class of 2013 QB recruit who was committed to us since the summer of that recruiting season.
