Disagree if his parents made him do that, which appears likely.
He also merely apologized that people saw it not his comments were disrespectful on a junior day he chose to attend. This will affect his recruitment in a negative way and it should. Its a character flaw.
"walked on the field and thought the only thing I'm going to do is get a pick 6 and make the crowd go quiet"
"gonna throw them gloves away"
talking to people responding on periscope "no I didn't get raped"
"I'm here to recruit for the dogs"
Yelled "Go dogs" when all the recruits were in the film room.
He used age as an excuse in his apology. That's crap. That tells me he is not mature enough to handle this situation. This will definitely cost him some of these trips. Other schools will shy away from him now and rightfully so.
He was yes. Think about a guy like D'Andre Christmas-Giles. He committed to us and kept visiting. If he was saying Go Vols I can't wait til the Vols win a national title at say Texas, LSU, etc and openly recruiting for Tennessee, those schools as well as other schools would take note and back off of him. God forbid he tears his ACL or really declines in play this year and Kirby drops him in January, hes screwing himself by burning bridges. If you think a school like Alabama hears about this and just keeps letting him on campus, then you're mistaken.If he's already a UGA commit how does this hurt his recruiting in the future? Maybe I'm just stupid but he was a commit already visiting around right?

He better hope UGA is as dedicated to him as he is to them come closer to NSD
I don't care who made him do it. I would expect a 16 year old to still have enough adult supervision to advise him of how to walk through his mistakes in life. It's still a big deal to learn from your mistakes and issue a public apology at this young age.
It will affect his recruitment though. He will still need to live with the consequences.
Sucks that it happened, but no one up in here was mad when PWill wore his UT gear on the Auburn visit and also said he was recruiting for the Vols...
Like I said, I don't think he apologized for being disrespectful. He apologized for getting caught/called out. That doesn't equate an apology in my book. This can't be blamed on age. 99% of kids go through these vists without doing it. Did he kill somebody? Obviously not. Am I pissed? Not at all. Just calling it like I see it.

Didn't much care for that either, or Boulware wearing the UT gear in the picture with Richt on his Georgia visit. Show some respect to the men who are taking their time and energy to bring you to their campus and try and bring you in as a member of their program. Act like a young man worthy of being given the attention and potentially very valuable scholarship they're offering. It's both an honor and privilege that you got the invite in the first place. Maybe I'm just old school but I'd jerk a knot in my son's ass if he tried to pull any of that mess.
Iirc Boulware was being visited by Richt at his high school. Totally different scenario imo.
Correct
Donta Hightower refused to come out of a classroom when Fulmer and Chief visited the school back in the day.
This kid accepted an invitation to visit a school.
FWIW heard PW flashed the VOL sign during a picture and Auburn sent him packing. They later floated a rumor he was smoking the herb.
