To borrow from SI: the apocalypse is upon us

Frank Burlison pulls no punches in writing about Cliff Alexander's 'hat trick' at a press conference in announcing his choice of college: "Shame on kids, parents, "coaches" and ESPN for the "pick a hat" bullshit. insulting to coaches who worked their asses off to recruit them."

Mark Isenberg chimes in: "If recruits are acting like clowns on TV, let's not forget who created this circus."

But there's also this: via Shannon Ryan: "I think the craziest part of the day was that the school sold tickets (even to students) to watch Alexander announce his decision."

Ryan also wrote: "...he explained of the feint that seemed simultaneously to deflate and infuriate Illini fans: “It's something my teammates thought I should do.”
