He realized that being the next Johnny Manziel probably wasn't that great of an idea.

Did ND even offer?

He kept putting ND in his top group without an offer, and then finally dropped them before his commitment to A&M.

Ryan Kelley decommitted from Oregon today and the chatter is Martell would be interested in the Ducks if he's the QB of the class.

2+2 = 4.

Yeah, it would suck bringing in 5* talent, especially at a position as unimportant as QB.

Definitely in the group that doesn't want this kid. He can be a heck of a talent, that doesn't mean I want him on my football team and it certainly doesn't mean he'll produce at the next level.

Why not? What do we KNOW about him that's so bad?

I can't tell you anything we KNOW for a fact, but there's always been whispers about him being a flaky kid, a risk to decommit from anywhere who was going to commit (check), and from what I've heard, not a good fit for ND.

But like you said, we don't anything for sure, and it might be just bad intel. I do think it's telling though that ND never even offered him - a 5 star kid at a position of need from a top football school where you already have a strong presence. To me, that speaks volumes.

5-10 with a 4.8 - 40. At least Davis is an athlete that has flexible value. If Martell washes out, he's your 3rd string kicker.

Thanks, LA. Did not realize we never offered him. Really does say a lot if that's the case.

Simply delicious. I love what a tire fire A&M has become under Sumlin.

Texas A&M assistant coach Aaron Moorehead took to Twitter hours after Martell decommitted with choice words. Per NCAA rules, he can’t comment about a recruit specifically. But he surely was talking about Martell.

“People talk about leadership and this generation flip flops like its nothing. That's a real issue. My dad would have whipped my ass,” Moorehead posted in one of multiple tweets.

His reaction caused Mannie Netherly, one of Texas A&M’s top wide receiver recruits, to decommit, too.

There's nothing wrong with Gorman quarterback Martell reopening his recruitment - Las Vegas Sun News

I agree with what most of Moorehead said BUT if he wants to be a successful coach and recruiter in college those types of things can not get to you.

I don't agree with any of what he said, simply for the fact that he doesn't respond the same way when a decommit goes the OTHER way, and a kid flip-flops TO A&M.

Bunch of f*cking hypocrisy.

Subtweeting has to be one of the most childish things ever because the intent is that you WANT the person you're "secretly" talking about to know that you're talking about them. The idea that a full grown adult would do crap like this, especially when their job is to coach football and not make an ass of themselves, is just astounding.
