Crenshaw receiver Bateman now headed for ASU?

DevilsDigest.com, a part of the Scout.com network, reported that Crenshaw High wide receiver Kemonte Bateman -– who had committed to attend UCLA –- made an oral commitment to attend Arizona State after a weekend visit. Bateman was one of five Crenshaw players who visited Tempe, and he and cornerback Clint Floyd both made commitments to the Sun Devils.

Bateman was one of five wide receivers who had committed to UCLA for next year. One of those is Kevin Walker, son of Bruin defensive coordinator DeWayne Walker.

This is the reason why the AD needs to make the change now so those recruits who have committed has a chance to know what is going on. If we let KD hang on until end of the year we may lose more recruits.

Bateman was suppossed to be a "key get" for Dorrell in the 2008 class. Something must be done to keep several of other key recruits who are considered "soft verbals".
