Jordan Ulmer decommits

. I don't know the rules on what you can share from paid sites, but it sounds like it wasn't a big surprised and my personal guess is the staff knew it was going to happen.
 
I thought there was already quite a bit of speculation that he was going to de-commit near the beginning of the season?
 
Didn't. Want. Him. Anyway.

Did not want him anyway because we have so many great recruits coming already, I think. It's so amusing to read the denial and dismissal of a prior commit.

isn't this the kid that tweeted his commitment, but the staff never acknowledged it. No sound the sirens, no a storm is brewing, no nothing.

Because he wasn't a commitment. It's like having a girl say she's engaged to you when you're not even dating.

I think we did offer. He appeared, and still does, in our Rivals offer list. I agree that the staff is probably not that keen on him. I don't think he was ever invited for a visit; official or otherwise. We've got a ton of offers out there. Some a lot better than others.

Not all offers are committable. That's why the staff wasn't tweeting out sounds the sirens when he committed over Twitter.
 
So by the sounds of it, he was a backup option if we missed on other recruits?
 
Which offers are and which ones are not?

Just trying learn more on how this process works.
I'm not the best person to ask, but I know if you commit you have to let the coaching staff know so they accept your commit. A similar thing happened with McKinley Wright in basketball.

Iowa State was slow playing him but McKinley wanted to commit. The staff offered him but he was a backup option. My guess was Ulmer was a backup option so his offer wasn't committable.
