Adrian Wilson's commitment saga: A sign of youthful indecision or a broken recruitment system?

Grabbing another victory, the head coach of the Buffs, Deion Sanders, is working to live up to the title of “Coach of the Year.” Colorado (6-2) defeated Cincinnati (5-3) to earn bowl qualification for the very first time after 2016, thanks to a late field goal and a missed chance on downs before halftime. Buffs received more excellent news prior to the game, so it appears that the celebration of winning will be doubled this time. Yes, a four-star wide receiver has committed.

Deion Sanders and Co. have acquired a valuable player who will aid the squad in the years after Travis Hunter, as 2024 is his last year in CFB. And they got it. According to Hayes Fawcett of On3, Adrian Wilson, the 4-star WR, announced his commitment to Colorado on Saturday. However, before his de-commitment on October 23, Wilson was pledged to Arizona State. He has previously stated that he is committed to TCU and Oregon. But this time after committing to Buffs, Wilson mentioned to On3, “It took me a minute to find but, I’M HOME🦬.

Plus, Wilson said to On3’s Steve Wiltfong, “What excites me the most is the opportunity to go somewhere in the air-raid offense and start.” However, given his inconsistent behavior, it is still unclear if he will ever recommit to a different program. Basically, the wide receiver has taken his pledge for the fourth time. Therefore, the CFB fans were incensed by this contradiction, and one fan wrote, “I wouldn’t believe bruh til week 1 😂.”

Safe to say, while Colorado was pleased with Wilson’s commitment, the whole college football community was mocking the 4-star wide receiver’s unstable decision.

Fans’ amusing responses to the 4-star commit

Adrian Wilson's commitment saga: A sign of youthful indecision or a broken recruitment system?

Have an interesting take?

Wilson has so far this season hauled in 26 passes for 601 yards and 8 touchdowns, averaging more than 23 yards per catch, which is among his outstanding high school stats. His 1,003 catches and 14 touchdowns from the previous season solidified his status as a superb playmaker. But it is unacceptable for a high school athlete to change his pledge multiple times and one fan remarked, “I’m a buff and happy he committed to Colorado but bruh… High schoolers shouldn’t be allowed to switch up 4 times 😭😭 NIL needs some regulation.” Having the same concern in mind, another fan commented, “Bro’s on his 4th school before entering CFB. He finna be a transfer portal wizard 🧙🏾‍♂️

According to the On3, Wilson is the 267th-best player in the nation for the 2025 season. “Re-opening my recruitment was not an easy decision, as I hold a great deal of respect for the coaching staff and the vision you have for the program,” the top athlete informed On3 prior to de-committing to Arizona. A fan ridiculed his assertion by writing, “Bros goin to Nebraska next week😂.” Echoing the same sentiment, another fan wrote, “🦬🦬🦬 Love the honesty😂😂😂.

The last word from a fan, expressing uncertainty over Wilson’s final destination for the 2025 class, read, “Wonder what school he gonna be at next week.” Therefore, the fog surrounding his commitment won’t go away until the WR makes his final decision. We’ll see whether he stays with the Buffs. What do you think?
