Apparently the weather and the girls in Orlando helped persuade Michael Chandler.
Having already committed to Louisville and Xavier, the 6-foot-10 senior center from Lawrence (IN) North verbally committed to Central Florida Friday during his visit.
“Yes I have,” he told Alex Kline of The Recruit Scoop. “I love Coach (Donnie) Jones. I really love the program.”
He added: “He has worked with bigs and sent them to the league. That was key for me. I loved how he was honest with me about everything.”
As for having committed twice before, Chandler told The Recruit Scoop: “I know I have said this (committing) two times before, but this is my final decision and I will sign with them.”
Lawrence North coach Jack Keefer previously said Chandler, the No. 4 center in the Class of 2011, needed to improve his test score to qualify.

Of course this guy needs to improve his test score. It’s a sign of a moron when he “commits” on every visit he takes.
In a way, I feel sorry for these slick, high-paid college coaches. They have to swim in some murky waters with elite HS players who are being coddled by sneaker companies and street agents from the age of 14. They know deep down they are dealing with skells who are blessed with skills.
It must suck to walk in to their living rooms on recruiting visits when most of these kids have little interest in school, and aspire to a life of of gold chains and an entourage of hangers-on and enablers.
