Cavin Ridley rethinking college decision

Days after he committed to South Carolina, highly-rated wide receiver Cavin Ridley is hedging on the decision.

On Monday morning, 6-foot-2, 190-pounds pass catcher from Deerfield Beach, Fla., posted a longer message to Twitter, saying he needed to take more time on his college decision. He apologized to South Carolina fans and asked for understanding about the situation, while adding he could still enroll early if he makes the decision in time.

Ridley has been deciding between the Gamecocks and Alabama where his brother Calvin is a star freshman receiver.

Ridley played in the Under Armour All American Game Saturday but was not one of the uncommitted players scheduled to announce a pledge. But after the game, after being approached by a reporter he knows, Ridley said he was going to go with the Gamecocks. In a follow up phone interview, Ridley confirmed his plans though he said he needed more time to think about things and wasn't sure if he would enroll this week.
