When will @UConnmbb start to follow him?
 
It's literally been only 4 days since he committed.

When his commitment was reported, we read the following quotes from him and his guardian:

ESPN: "Coach [Kevin] Ollie and the players showed me so much love and it's like a brotherhood," said Brown, the 7-foot, 260-pound big man out of Miami Beach Senior High School in Florida.

Scout: "We are so excited right now," Lipman said.

Rivals: "Zach is so excited with the family and brotherhood of the UConn team, staff and fans. He loves the incoming recruiting class and the chance to compete for a national championship."

UConnReport.com: "I want to be a team leader and bring another championship to UConn very soon! I love the school, my future teammates, incoming recruits, coaches, and the massive UConn Husky Nation!"​

Nothing about that says "Man, I regret my decision to commit to UConn."
 
He's a high school kid.

Chances are the big mistake was his choice of weapon in Call of Duty.

This is why these persistent recruit threads were the dumbest idea we've had here in about 20 years.

They constantly take ridiculous turns and then those turns on on display for a year.

Nope. Nope. Nope.

We ain't doing this anymore.

Why not keep the persistent threads but put them in a separate "Recruiting" board.

Still don't think there's anything wrong with speculation. I'm sure Pitino was caught off guard by Blankneys decomitment. Recruiting is fluid is something I've been told many times here. Only time will tell if it has anything to do with his commitment. But don't you find it at least a bit strange how he removed all the UConn stuff? Especially the "UConn commit" from his Instagram bio? Why would he feel the need to do that? Hope you guys are right, I'm really excited for his eventual presence in our front court, the type of big guy we haven't had under Coach KO.

Exactly my thought, I know the cuse board has a recruiting sub form, it keeps everything much more organized.

Even looking at the worst case scenario here, I think Ollie has instilled enough confidence in his recruiting in my brain. I'd love to have Brown as a husky, but one early 2017 commit isn't making or breaking this team. I'm not going to sweat this.

So what non-strange thing do you think it means? Are you saying that it's a reasonable guess that a player, after months of indications that he had all but committed to UConn, suddenly gets enough buyer's remorse within a week of committing to bail, and we find out about it because of a change he made to his twitter bio?

I'm not saying it means anything. I'm asking why he would do that, and what it would imply?

Perhaps the kid wants to focus on playing for his high school team even if he knows he's coming here in fall of 2017. To me, deleting that seems respectful to his high school teammates to show he doesn't have one foot out the door already. I'm guessing it's that simple. You're definitely reading way too much into this.

Or hundreds of other things that could be going on in his head. Maybe he is just mad about twitter for some other reason and is wiping his stuff in a bad mood.

Of course I am. However, that explanation would make sense if every kid who commits to a school didn't put the name of said school in their profile.

This is BS. You're absolutely saying it means something, but you won't say what, because doing so would make you sound like a lunatic. So either say what you think it means, or stop trying to analyze the behavior of a teenager on social media.

1. He's signed a LOI, that's a little different.
2. I'm not sure if he ever put us in his bio to begin with
3. He didn't commit within the last month.

Bruce, you will go as batty as his thoughts right now trying to reason with him. He wants to go over the ledge and take the rest of us with him
