Gatorade Player of the Year for the State of Illinois has decided to play elsewhere next year.
When Vanderbilt earned a commitment from Florida power back Jamauri Wakefield this week, something seemed a bit off. After all, the Commodores already had a big 2016 commit from Illinois back Sam Brodner, and both players shared a similar running style that carved up defensive backs with crushing hits at top speed.
On Wednesday, we learned why. Brodner decided to reopen his recruiting, decommiting from Vanderbilt in the process.
Was it the firing of Coach Bankins?
