"Im sellin new college hoodies and snapbacks for 12 dollars!$$ i aint got use for none of them, i dnt wear nothin tht isnt labeled Nd hit me!" Smith tweeted.

He followed up the tweet with photos showing sweatshirts from Florida, Ohio State, Purdue, USC, and Miami and a line of more than a dozen hats stretching across a dresser.

Looking for interested buyers, Smith posted his phone number in one of the tweets. In the coming hour, Smith's Twitter timeline and cell phone started getting throttled.

He eventually backs off saying he was "just having fun."  He said he bought the stuff orginally ao I don't see why he can't sell it, but who knows what the NCAA would do.

I read it with "Kaepora Gaebora's Theme" from Ocarina of Time stuck in my head. That owl will be the end of me one day. Don't you dare turn your head upside down at me again! And what's with the game defaulting to make the owl repeat everything if you just press A repeatedly?

I'm not gunna pick on a kid's language skillz...  but "I ain't got use for none of them"  takes the exact same number of characters as "I don't have use for any of them".

So that ain't no good argument neither.

Wow, people complaining about Jaylon's handle of the English language.... I'm guessing they haven't seen some of our recruits/commits communicate on twitter.

In my analysis he should have committed to Temple University (yes, I have a bias):

Follow the logic:

a) He has a very real interest in entrepreneurship, evidently.

b) Temple has one of the top undergraduate programs in entrepreneurship in the United States at Fox School of Business

c) Profit (which seems his original motive here anyway).
