Kyron McKinnie-Harper sat at an elongated table with seven other prospects in the media center at Cass Tech High School in Detroit on Dec. 19.
Moments before he announced his college destination, the three-star cornerback took a deep breath, looked at the paperwork in front of him and crumpled one set.
Stapled tight, one group of papers signed himself away to Central Michigan. The letter was Toledo.
Cass Tech coach Thomas Wilcher saved McKinnie-Harper's announcement for last. He got up to the podium, flashed teammate Ormondell Dingle a smile, and went public with his decision to join the Chippewas, later explaining he squashed the Toledo paperwork prior to taking the stand.
