I must say, this is surprising to me. As much as I hate USC, Helton seems like a very nice guy with integrity. Why would you put effort into flipping someone, knowing he could be missing a great opportunity for himself if he lost his spot after coming to you, and then go and drop him like a hot rock after something perceived to be better came along?  Seems like a very low integrity move that will have repercussions down the road.

Mike Eubanks agrees with you. FWIW, Helton surrounded himself with vicious recruiters as assistants who couldn't give a rat's a** about integrity. (Unfortunately, the CFB recruiting landscape is intensely cutthroat, and "integrity" may not get you places.)

Do we know for sure that U$C pulled his scholarship offer and/or had promised they wouldn't recruit any more WR's when they got his commitment? Or are we just assuming that since he decommitted?
