Gunner Kiel committed to play quarterback at LSU today. For those of you that don't know who Gunner Kiel is, then here is a snapshot (plus it is really all I know of him since I have never met him, seen him play or befriended him on facebook). He is a senior quarterback at Columbus East High School in Indiana (40 miles from Indiana University). He was named the Gatorade Player of the Year in the state of Indiana. He threw for about a million and a half yards with only a handful of interceptions--and he can run, as well. His team made it to the state semi-finals. Oh yeah, and he committed to Indiana University and new coach Kevin Wilson (former Offensive Coordinator at Oklahoma) this past summer. Two months ago, he evidently decided to help re-write a section of Webster's dictionary. The word commitment must no longer mean to promise or pledge something because Gunner "decommitted" from Indiana University and reopened his recruitment.. Gunner is not the first, nor will he be the last athlete to be confused as to what a commitment actually is.
