I'm going to assume that his decision to de-commit from the cats probably rubbed a lot of the staff the wrong way. I predict if Marion leaves after this season, Pressley doesn't get an offer to go with him to his new school and he'll want to come back to msu but I could see Vigen and the staff telling him no.

Three schools before playing in his senior season
Sac may not have their coach next year, a good season with no FBS in near future he could bolt.
Remember though Bobcats might not have their coach next season. Reports were that Vigen was gone and then that pesky Championship game ruined timing for him to sign at WA St. ( don't know how true that is) Another good season with playoff run by cats and Coach V could be gone.
Also going to need a competitive, thick skinned QB at MSU this year. Fair or not future QBs will be compared to Tommy and results will be expected after the Cats recent run of success.
Just my one cent!!!

It also suggests, as we know of a lot of freshmen, he hasn't a clue about what he wants to pursue for a degree, vocation or occupation. I'll take general studies for a $1000, Alex.

Oh dang, I thought he was already a HS Sr. Shoot, he could be above 6 schools before he even walks onto a campus as a student athlete.
It’s becoming unfortunately common.
I just saw a DL recruit committed to Georgia maybe a week ago, and now he already decommitted and committed to Texas. It’s a shit show out there.

He has no family loyalty to MSU or UM
He could be (most likely) getting $$ that far exceeds what either MSU or UM could offer
He could very well be more enamored with the offense that the new coach is bringing from UNLV to SAC over the one that Vigen runs
SAC may have a major that neither Montana school can offer
He may prefer warm weather in November to cold
He may have connected to the coaches really well at SAC
He may have never intended to stay at MSU (unless he didn’t get any better offers) and planned to keep his recruitment open hoping for better
He may be getting very poor family advice
…one could keep going for a long time with the possibilities. Bottom line, recruiting is the Wild West and a commitment means nothing to players today. Right or wrong, depending on your personal perspective. It’s why everyone currently admires Eli so much. Same with Junior. And many understand Riley’s reasoning to go to UAZ and don’t fault him for it.
He may have broken up with his girlfriend who is going to MSU...

College girl dating a high school boy. I think you may have that analyzed correctly but backwards.

I assume SS came up with some early opt-in or NIL money for him. I wish him all the career bad luck in the world. The Cats are better off without him. He can’t be depended on, in recruiting and probably not in tough football situations either.
In all seriousness, how is this any different than what McDowell or Bergen did?
You're comparing him to two people there whose experiences were completely different lol
McDowell committed to Louisiana and went there for two seasons before watching the coach that recruited him die during practice. His path is one of a lot of horrible experiences and family circumstances.
Bergen switched from MSU to UM because Choate, the coach he wanted to play for, left.
As far as I can tell, Presley has no personal tragedies or coaching changes causing him to flip his commitments.
McDowell was committed to Southern after transferring from Central Arkansas. He flipped to UM while committed to Southern. This was two seasons post Louisiana.
I’ll give you Bergen.
My point is more just that flipping is becoming more common, and it’s something the coaches here have done as well. I’m not going to say it necessarily speaks well of the young men who do it, but I’m sure they all have their reasons, some better than others.
I think a transfer switching his commitment during a shorter recruiting period after taking an official visit is different from a high school kid more than a year away from showing up changing his commitment twice.
That said, I don't have a single problem with what any of them did or are doing. Presley could flip another 4 times, and I wouldn't care.

Completely different. He’s committed and moved 3 times before his senior year of
high school. Will he move again? He hasn’t had a practice or a down. He isn’t moving on from a bad situation or because he’s in a crowded qb room. Bergen? What are you talking about? He stayed at UM his whole career. He turned down bigger money. He showed loyalty to his team, school and coaches. I can’t believe you asked the question. You are clueless about football, in my view. I wasn’t excited about McDowell
leaving either.

Yes, changing is somewhat common. Can you name anyone who moved twice before his senior year of high school? And you made my point; it doesn’t say much for the kid. That was my point. He is not my kind of guy. And to SS. Please.
I’m assuming by moving you’re meaning changing commitments, and yes, I can. It’s not at all uncommon. Do I like it? No. Can’t stand it. But it’s definitely becoming much more common.
After Choate left Bergen flipped from MSU to UM. Different circumstances, but still somebody who changed commitments in HS.

Okay, please name the players that have had had 3 commitments before their senior year of high school.

Yes, completely different circumstances. Not even close. One change when a coaching change occurred. You even later admitted that Bergen was different. Why don’t you just admit that your original comment was both wrong and stupid? Why keep digging your hole? As I said, you are often clueless about football.
