Guys heres the real story you wont get from local media.....
Much like Butchs foresight when he had JJ Watt as an OT, Butch was the only coach who wanted Cade to pull double duty and return punts as well as play OT. Once that dream was squashed, Cade was upset and locked himself in his bedroom for 3 days before decommitting. After his mommy promised to make him his favorite breakfast on that 4th day, he finally came out. It was then that Dabo called and said Cade could play anything he wants to at Clemson, even QB. Trevor Lawrence would only run the wildcat part time if Cade wanted to be the primary QB. Dabo also promised to take Cade out for ice cream after every game. Cade stomped his feet and cheered in excitement. When Phil and Pruitt met him at his school, rumors of the 4 hour visit were skewed as Cade was in the middle of nap time. After 2 hours of waiting he woke up to visit with them. It got off on the wrong foot when Pruitt attempted to shake Cades hand instead of high fiving Cade followed by low fiving Cade as Dabo does. Also, Phil and Pruitt had brought no surprise for Cade as Dabo had always done. Cade also learned there would be no nap time at UT as Dabo promised at Clemson. So after talking about everything, Cade simply folded his arms together and kept yelling No! No! repeatedly until Fulmer and JP left. Cades mom asked him to draw a picture of where he wanted to go to college and Cade drew a tiger and a stick person with the letters D A (backwards) B O.
Why would you want to go play somewhere never to be heard from again?....Example: see Tee Martin son.
Versus, playing in your own backyard where everyone you've known your entire life watches you every Saturday.

My gut on all of this is that something happened that soured him on UT and he has decided hes going anywhere but here. I feel like something happened that hurt his feelings/pride and now hes not even open to returning.
I also get the feeling based on his behavior that hes a kid who never gets told no and has been spoiled so theres nobody guiding him in his choice. Hes on his own in selecting a school.
