We reported earlier today on Elijah Hood, who is a 5-star running back from Charlotte, who posted a video of him flushing recruiting letters from Alabama down a toilet. Elijah did it as a poor attempt at humor which his future team (Notre Dame) isn’t going to put up with.
We also added the following sentence in our initial post which has come to fruition in just a very short amount of time.
You have to assume that the coaching staff at Notre Dame will be giving this young man a call about social media etiquette in the very near future.
Elijah has now deleted his vine video which showed him flushing the letters from Alabama down the toilet and has apologized via Twitter in a very unconvincing manner. This young man has a whole lot to learn if he wants to excel at a professional, or even collegiate, level.
Alright Guys My Highschool Coach Called Gotta Take Roll Toilet down and apologize formally to Nick Saban, Alabama, and Norte Dame hahaha

In regards to my post yesterday, it was wrong and very disrespectful to Alabama. My attempt at humor was immature, and wrong I’m sorry.
