Weird situation playing out. A few hours ago on a live video chat with BleacherReport, he picked UF, citing his relationship with Will Grier, saying "I'll be seeing you down there Willy G". Then, at a commitment ceremony, picked Cuse. Da Fuck???

He committed to Syracuse. The Florida video was pre-recorded and he changed his mind a few days later and committed to Syracuse today.

Odd situation. Apparently the UF coaches were confused as well because he had never visited.

Robert Washington commits to Syracuse after brief Florida pick - College Football - SI.com

lol if the schools were swapped around we would all be instantly crying "bagmen!"

Waht? Obviously, the kid got his Miss St bag and his UF bag and then decided he really wants to play at Syracuse. It like, who was it Eric Dickerson?, was given a car by TAMU and then chose SMU. Who is going to squeal when it proves YOU are guilty of violations?

These guys are not quite on the level of the people who call 911 because someone stole their weed.

I long for the day a school calls in a violation on a kid. School says to the NCAA "Hey this recruit took a bunch of impermissible benefits from us, he's should lose his eligibility".

Yup, it sure was. Ron Meyer's staff at SMU called it the Trans-A&M.

They talked about this kid on Power Hour. Basically, Coach Alford loved this kid and they had a great relationship. But the other coaches didn't have him very high on their board. So when Alford left, you saw ND's interest level drop. Christian and Mike both said he's a good kid just got ahead of himself with the recruiting game recently.

Can we talk about Syracuse un-retiring #44 for Washington?

Syracuse Orange Football, Basketball, and Recruiting Front Page

Make a potential decommit so much more fun.

A bit disrespectful to unretire Ernie's #44 for a kid who played against glorified Boys and Girls Club teams his whole HS career...

Did either of you actually read the story before posting? It doesn't have anything to do with Washington and I doubt he'll be wearing it any time soon. His attitude and comments towards it being something you have to earn is exceptional perspective from a junior in HS.

Great move by Syracuse. Both Floyd Little and Jim Brown approved of it and Little will be on the committee to select who wears it. As a CFB fan, I'm happy to see #44 restored. As a fan of Washington, I hope he earns it before his career is over.

A four-star running back from North Carolina committing to Syracuse never did make much sense.

Of course man, this kid was looking like a top 50 player in the country a few years back and his film was a pain in the ass to watch then I LOL'd when he committed to Cuse and forgot about the Florida thing. Now I am pulling for this kid in hopes he lives out his dream.

Would like to see him go to an FCS and get some playing time. The kid aint that good; more of media hype and being a shark in a fish bowl at Southlake Christian.

Remember this guy? He ended up signing with the University of Charlotte. Seemingly questionable whether he will qualify though
