Damonic Williams recommits to TCU after decommitting from Cal this afternoon, after recommiting to Cal after decommitting yesterday morning
What is going on
Defensive tackle Damonic Williams, one of Cal’s first commits in the 2022 class flipped back to TCU after he decommitted and recommitted to the Bears yesterday. Williams is already placed on the TCU roster, so this recruitment is done.
For those wanting a sequence of events of the wild last 36 hours.
Tuesday morning: Decommitted from Cal, TCU the favorite
Tuesday evening: Changed his mind back to Cal
Wednesday afternoon: Changed his mind, signs with TCU
One of the wildest Cal recruiting stories in some time, and a really tough beat for the Bears, who suffer another decommit this fall (Justyn Martin to UCLA, Kaleb Johnson to Iowa, and Jaydn Ott, who might decide on Cal today).
Regarding defensive line recruiting, Cal has signed letters from Nate Burrell and outstanding commitments with Curlee Thomas and Nunie Tuitele. So the Bears definitely have plenty of depth at the position.
Congrats to Sonny Dykes on another inexplicable loss for Cal.
I don't think “distractions” would be something a kid would worry about. Parents? Yes.
DYKES TO PARENTS: “I lived in Berkeley, and know first hand about the drug culture there, the sex parties, getting drunk, student groups for gay people and how a great kid like your son can so easily get in trouble there. I had to get out of that place just so my children wouldn't grow up being exposed to all of that!
You send your son to me in Texas, to our CHRISTIAN University, and he'll grow up to be a fine young man.”
DYKES TO DAMONIC, privately, so the parents don't hear: “At Berkeley they actually make the football players attend classes, on top of giving out constant huge home work assignments during football season. You won't have those problems with us. And our Christian girls are just beautiful, and they love football players. We Texans know how to treat the fine young men on our team.”
Parents: “Oh thank you Coach Dykes for telling us about that sinful place. Now Damonic, you're going to TCU and that's the end of the discussion!”
Hahaha. I bet there's more than a little truth to this scenario.
Don't let the door hit you in the butt on your way out.
