The problem isn’t that he decommitted. No one will blame him for that. He immediately flipped to tOSU. That’s fine as well. Here’s where the issue lies. From my understanding from what was posted on various boards was that Sark had given him multiples chances to flip and was basically told he’s sticking with tOSU. Since then, we seem to be picking up the best skill players and got ourselves a 5 star QB that is very well liked by his peers. Sark has had a relationship with Murphy’s family for a while. I think taking Ewers commitment will probably make Sark look very bad in the eyes of a lot of west coast recruits, trainers, and coaches. If Ewers is indeed getting cold feet (who knows how true this is), our coaches will need to weigh if it’s worth the negative effects of it at this point. Another consideration would be if we have an average season due to injuries or a coaching transition, Ewers has already shown he will bail immediately.
I’m interested to see how this plays out but either way, we’re going to be on the winning end with whomever we take at QB.
