Baby Gronk has "committed" to a different school, and by the time you're reading this he has probably pledged his future to an entirely new program.

Madden San Miguel announced Wednesday he flipped his "commitment" to Texas, which follows a series of similar moves.

Not only is the 11-year-old unable to make any actual binding commitments to a college, but the frequency with which he has changed his mind underlines how this is a ploy for attention.

A quick perusal of his feed on X shows him photoshopped in jerseys for USC, Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, Nebraska, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Colorado, Michigan and Ohio State among others.

Self-promotion has always been part of the game in high-level recruiting. In a previous era, athletes weren't above adjusting the speed of their highlight reel to make themselves look faster on tape.

In the case of Baby Gronk, though, treating the recruiting process like a joke probably won't help his standing with the coaches at top-level schools when it's time to begin evaluating the landscape.
