Ligon ends commitment rumors

Memphis (Tenn.) Christian Brothers defensive end David Ligon is back from his visit to Florida and he's right in the middle of a swirl of rumors.
There were reports in newspapers in Tennessee that stated that Ligon would come back from his visit to Florida this weekend and commit to Tennessee.

There was one small problem with that - somebody forgot to tell that to Ligon.
"I'm not sure where that came from or how that I got started," Ligon said. "I want to make the decision after the visit to Tennessee next weekend. And how could I have made a commitment without even going to meet the new staff at Florida."
Speaking of new staff, Ligon said he came away very impressed with coach Zook and the rest of the coaches at Florida.
The highlight of his trip came when they simulated what it would be like for a game - including packing the recruits up for a bus ride to The Swamp and having the players wear jerseys with their names on the back of them.
"That was impressive," he said. "We got to run out of the tunnel and everything."
Ligon said he's not leaning one way or the other as he heads to Knoxville this weekend.
"I'll take the visit and see what happens," he said.
