College football recruiting evolves rapidly with major changes that can dramatically affect how athletes navigate the process.
Unfortunately, 247Sports four-star wide receiver T.J. Sheffield found that out the hard way.
On Wednesday, less than a week after his commitment to the Notre Dame football program, Sheffield posted a message on social media indicating that his offer would no longer be honored by the Fighting Irish and that he was back on the market.
"After establishing a long-term relationship with coach (Del) Alexander, the receivers coach for Notre Dame, I called him on the morning of the 6th of July and stated to him my intentions to commit," Sheffield wrote.
