Four-star CB William Poole III was expected to make a decision about what school he would attend this spring.
But following a visit to Florida over the weekend, it looks like he’s not quite ready to make a decision after all.
Here’s the message he posted to Twitter on Sunday night:

Poole, who is the No. 100 rated player in the 247Sports composite rankings for the 2017 recruiting class, was believed to be heavily favoring a commitment to Kirby Smart’s Georgia program prior to the delayed announcement.
The Atlanta, Ga. native took a picture with Gators CB Jalen Tabor during his trip to Gainesville over the weekend:

Poole spoke to 247Sports’ Rusty Mansell about the trip.
“It was great,” Poole said. “It was nice. I’ve been trying to get up there for a long time, and to finally get up there, they showed me everything. It was amazing, I fell in love with the place.”
It is refreshing to see a kid take a step back and refrain from making a commitment if he’s unsure of his choice.
