Kingsley Okoroh used Twitter to commit to the University of Tennessee. 24 hours later Okoroh jumped ship for California.
Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin helped bring Okoroh to Tennessee and shortly after his potential star announced his decision, Martin jumped ship for California. Cuonzo after three seasons helped lead Tennessee to a Sweet 16 appearance this year.
On Monday Okoroh announced he would be going to Tennessee:
Just committed to the university of Tennessee! Can’t wait to play in the SEC next year

Less than 24 hours later he deleted the announcement and replaced it with a different commitment.
I announce my commitment to the University of California Berkeley. I'm very excited to be a BEAR !

Cuonzo Martin lost plenty of his top players to graduation and early entry to the NBA, his sudden move brings with it more depth, while maintaining his relationship with Kingsley Okoroh.
Along with deleting his first tweet Kingsley Okoroh apologized to Tennessee fans.
I want to thank The University Of Tennessee and the fans for your support unfortunately I announce my de-commitment from Tennessee
