Not surprised.
The odd twist in all of this......
ND cut him loose. Purdue wanted him to sign early. He said that wasn't in his plans. Took another look at IU.
Now? He tweets that he's signing early as possible on Dec 20. So much for saying he was taking his time, huh? He's putting ink to paper as soon as he can. And the Cathedral high school Twitter friends are on there saying big congrats to him and Emil Ekiyor for getting out of state to play football.
