Amile Jefferson is a high-profile college basketball prospect, and like most of the kids these days, he has a Twitter account. On one hand, that's great, because it makes a public forum of the utterly ridiculous messages that grown-ass men send to players of Jefferson's stature. On the other, well, it is his account and he doesn't deserve to have people vomiting in its general direction on a daily basis and mostly this just sucks all around.
So what does someone like Amile Jefferson deal with in the buildup to his commitment? Here's a sample.

I don't know, I wouldn't completely dismiss the notion that he might regret it at least a tiny bit.
