College football<\/a> recruiting has gotten a little out of hand these days.<\/p>\n

With how much money these kids are making just to take visits, the whole thing has become a giant spectacle.<\/a><\/p>\n

Even traditions from the pre-NIL days of recruiting that have made their way over to the modern game have gotten bloated and overused.<\/p>\n

Take the “hat game,” for instance.<\/p>\n

A kid announces he’s going to commit to a school (probably not even for the last time, mind you), and has a big ceremony at his high school gymnasium.<\/p>\n

He usually sits at the center of the gym with four or five hats spread out across a table, and then he’ll pretend to put one on before tossing it into the stands and picking the team he actually wants to commit to.<\/p>\n

Yawn.<\/p>\n

ESPN STAPLE RIPS ‘TOXIC’ NICO IAMALEAVA, PLEADS WITH SCHOOL TO NOT TAKE HIM<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The theatrics have become so cliche that even I don’t watch commitment ceremonies anymore, and I eat, sleep and breathe college football recruiting.<\/p>\n

One high school prospect had a fun — albeit likely unintentional — twist on the hat game Monday afternoon, however.<\/p>\n

De’voun Kendrick is a three-star defensive tackle from the Tampa area who had a commitment ceremony of his own, with his final four schools being Florida, Texas A&M, Louisville and Georgia Tech.<\/p>\n

He ended up picking the Gators, but his choice wasn’t the newsworthy portion of the ceremony.<\/p>\n

Take a look at the hat he chose to represent the Louisville CARDINALS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whoops!<\/p>\n

Something tells me the St. Louis Cardinals<\/a> aren’t looking to sign a 17-year-old defensive tackle who’s never held a baseball bat in his life, but I could be wrong.<\/p>\n

I know they’re sitting near the bottom of the NL Central right now, but I don’t think they’re that desperate.<\/p>\n

I have to applaud Kendrick for giving me a laugh. These hat game ceremonies have become so tedious lately, it’s great to see a little humor being injected into them.<\/p>\n

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Again, did he do this intentionally? Probably not.<\/p>\n

But it’s hilarious either way.<\/p>\n

I don’t need my defensive tackles to be Rhodes Scholarship candidates, so I am quite all right with this blunder.<\/p>\n

Welcome to Gainesville, De’Voun!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
