UCLA Football Recruiting: 2013 RB Keyante Green Decommits, Commits To Purdue

UCLA’s football team has let yet another commit walk away from Westwood.

Last time, it was cornerback Dashon Hunt who decommitted from UCLA due to lack of communication, and now it’s Georgia running back Keyante Green. From Edward Lewis at BSR:

And the reason for that, of course, was lack of communication:

Dashon Hunt had similar gripes when he decommitted from UCLA a month ago, so there’s a trend here.

Mind you, this is my first year covering college recruiting in any sport — I know, I’m disqualifying myself, CHILL — so perhaps this vaunted staff of recruiters knows what it is doing and saw something they didn’t like or were expecting another commitment from a more coveted recruit. Even further, perhaps the UCLA coaching staff figured they were pretty stacked at running back with Steven MANfro, Malcolm Jones and Jordon James all sitting behind Johnathan Franklin in the depth chart.

We’re not too sure, but Keyante Green was a 3/4-star prospect, so there has to be a reason that a staff with so much skill in recruiting could neglect a prospect like Keyante.

We enjoyed the dude on Twitter, though, and now’s not the time for everyone to be douchebags and unfollow him, since we’re sure he’ll amount to something at Purdue, even if UCLA didn’t envision him to be successful in their system.

GO BRUINS!!!
