Recruit Commits By Playing Monopoly

It's commonplace now for high school recruits to come up with clever and fun ways of announcing which university they'll be attending, but 4-star A.J. Taylor's imagination tops the cake in that category.

This very well may be the most nostalgic and flat out creative announcement of all time. On Saturday, Taylor, a 4-star running back out of Kansas City, MO, put together a near full-sized Monopoly board, but replaced the game properties with 15 different schools.

And what do you do when you see a Monopoly board? You play Monopoly, of course.

Throughout the process, he placed houses on the schools that he was interested in, including Missouri and Kansas, and eventually placing the ever-important hotel on the winner.

I guess we can now call Wisconsin the Boardwalk of college football for A.J. Taylor.

Don't be shocked if the next great idea is a recruit programming a custom video game in which he plays through the entire story, ultimately making his decision through the medium of an Xbox One or Playstation 4.

I may be on to something there.
