Never said don't take visits, but if one is "committed" and taking visits then he either isn't really committed or he isn't taking the visit for the right reasons.
Taking an official on a school's dime while "advertising" with a rivals schools apparel is pretty classless, in my opinion, and I don't care if one is 17 or 77 - one knows that doing something like that isn't going to be received very well.
The reports on whether any of this happened are mixed. Others have said Auburn asked him to leave for smoking pot, which is LOL funny also. As if Auburn gives a half a crap about that.
Either way, being 17 is not an excuse, but it is an explanation.
