High school recruit flips commitment from Colorado to Mississippi State back to Colorado in 30-hour span

I mentioned it yesterday, but this is a 365-day-a-year racket, and if coaches don't stay on top of things in the talent acquisition world, they'll be run out of town so fast it will make your head spin.Recruiting is the lifeblood of every great program, but unfortunately, a lot of the inner workings of acquiring high school talent is getting on a plane every weekend and telling a bunch of 16- and 17-year-olds how great they are, only to see them choose another school in the 11th hour because they offered their grandma a house or something.It's a thankless job, and oftentimes the antics of some of these high school athletes will be enough to make you want to stop watching college football altogether.Take Li'Marcus Jones, for example (great name, by the way).Jones is an offensive tackle from the Nashville area and one of the top recruits in the state of Tennessee.For a while, he was verbally committed to the University of Colorado.COLLEGE FOOTBALL COACHING CAROUSEL COULD EXPLODE AS LINCOLN RILEY AND DEION SANDERS FACE MOUNTING PRESSUREColorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders walks onto the field during the spring game at Folsom Field on April 19, 2025, in Boulder, Colorado.(Isaiah J.
