Four-star Javontae Jean-Baptiste was supposed to announce his commitment at 8AM during a ceremony this morning but winter weather in the Northeast cause his school, Oradell (N.J.) Bergen Catholic to close for the day. Coaches at Nebraska, Ohio State, Virginia Tech, and Texas A&M are anxiously awaiting his decision but, obviously, they will have to wait a little longer.

Jean-Baptiste was supposed to announce his commitment and send in his National Letter of Intent at his school this morning but now that school was cancelled for the day he is making other arrangements. He was already having a hard time deciding which school to pick and this extra time has made it even more difficult.

"He has legitimately changed his mind four times," a source said.

According to the same source, Jean-Baptiste should be signing and sending in his National Letter of Intent around noon local time.

UPDATE (10:30AM)

The Bergen Catholic official Twitter feed has announced that their signing ceremony will take place tomorrow. However, Jean-Baptiste is still planning on signing today. Nebraska was in the best position at the beginning of the day but Ohio State has been talking to Jean-Baptiste today and are hoping for one final push.
