Semi OT: 4-Star Picks College Based on Coin Flip
We may now have seen everything; a major college prospect - Chris Warren - a 4-star running back supposedly picked his college choice on NSD by a coin flip - Texas beat out Washington.

Even if he did use a coin to decide his fate for the next 4 years, I can't imagine why he told people as he will probably be ridiculed forever as these scenarios will no doubt come up:
- Coach bases his starting on a coin
- Girls will/will not date him based on a coin flip
- Prof will pass/fail him based on a coin flip
No doubt that he will earn the nickname Flipper from now on. Wish Mike Weber did this also!

On this 17 year old and 18 year old, so of course they may do things like this. I don't know enough about Chris Warren, but perhaps he was torn between the two programs and couldn't decide.

Apparently you have never heard of humor and/or sarcasm. The point was that others would joke and tease him under these potential circumstances, not that these things would actually happen. Thank you Sheldon Cooper.

But what if it landed on the edge?

Harvey Dent would approve of said strategy.

And that is why he made such a poor choice.

No problem with it. I base alot of decisions off the flip of the coin. Maybe not decisions that have a big impact on my life, but I'm pretty indecisive and if I had offers from two great schools (and neither were Michigan), I might give it a try. Kid's life, let him do what he wants.

Sometimes choices really come down to coin flips. Last year, I turned down an offer of a postdoc to go interview for a postdoc at a more prestigious department based on a coin flip.

More than you can trust Urbz, just ask Mike Weber.

His final two were Texas and UW? Seems like an odd combo to base on a coin flip. They are clearly different have respective pros and cons...
It's not like he was picking between Auburn Bama or Ole Miss MSU(ntm)

I can appreciate that this is a teenager, not an adult, and that teenagers don't always act like adults.
But that being said, these universities are vastly different, have different plusses/minusses, their coaches busted their rears to recruit this kid and he and his family cannot make a decision?
I'm sorry, it just sounds to me like he didn't have the guts to tell the loser that he wasn't coming to their school.
And I question his family letting him get away with pulling a stunt like this. Would you sign a LOI for your kid based on a coin flip?
