Matt Elam… WTF Man!

The Matt Elam saga is becoming rather annoying and I wish I could just say he’s with Florida or with another team and not have to be updating.  The kid knows how to keep his name in the news and he better be worth it for all the trouble he’s been causing myself with having to write a half doze articles about his commitments and changes of heart.

In most recent news, Matt Elam switched his commitment to FSU but has now began to rethink this.  I did predict this with people I talked to that we should not be surprised should he change his mind with Meyer coming back:

“I talked to Urban last night,” Elam told Rivals. “We were talking about our relationship basically and he told me to have trust, to have trust in him and he asked me a word that really touched me. He said, ‘Do you know what faith means?’ and he told me the definition. It really touched me a lot. It really touched me so my decision might change.”

What was the definition Matt?  I want to know what touched you so deeply.  Was it the dictionary definition or a more philosophical definition?  Can you sense the frustration in my tone with this kid?

He’s a great safety and I feel he’ll do well at any school.  Some questions plague me on this recruit though…  is he worth all the hassle?  Is he going to be as good at the next level as he was in HS? If he had chose a school other than our rival, would we have still went after him?  If he went with WVU, would it have had Meyer get all deep in thought with him or would we have had said good bye?  There’s no way to no for sure but it’s my personal opinion (take it for what it’s worth) that because it’s a rival it just doesn’t make good business sense to not try to get him back.

But for the love of god Matt, please make up your mind and stick with it!
