Over the last 48-72 hours Mississippi State fans went from the highest of highs, back to lows as West Point offensive lineman Scott Lashley committed to the Bulldogs, then backed off his claim. Lashley’s recant of his commitment to Mississippi State, follows Meridian’s Quincy Lenton’s decommitment to the Bulldogs last week and as usual, fans are melting down via social media as if the world just started to sink into the abyss.
We’ve seen this scene year after year – you know the scene right? High school kids commit to a school, decommit, then fans that have no idea who that kid is or have probably never seen him play melt down, taking to social media to discuss, acting as if they are the position coach of the kid, only to forget them after signing day and move on to the next crop of 17-year olds.
