Wait a minute. The Illini fan is coming out.
Your word only applies when everything stays the same. Gordon changed his mind because the circumstances changed. He verbally committed to Illinois because Davis was the coach at Indiana. And based on Davis' unstable behavior I would not have wanted to play for him either. Davis retired and the kid changed his mind because the circumstances at Indiana changed. Any adult has a right to change their mind from time to time and definitely when circumstances change.
Just take the loss like a true Illini fan and stop blaming your failure on a kid that wanted to stay home.
Peace
