Alex Anzalone announcement

  • psujmc1992 said...

    How about Davonte Neal last year? He didn't even show up to his own press conference to announce for ND.

    Again, why I think ND is set to implode. Their locker room is a joke. And don't forget about the QB from last cycle...

  • Laschout said don't expect a commitment so don't expect a commitment....or maybe another day of Hack in your ear may change something?

    Good or bad, I have a feeling you might be getting at least one more!

    I would imagine that his mind was already made up prior to going to The Opening.

  • I can't wait until this is over. Please just go away, Anzalone family. Humility is an amazing quality that these folks really need to discover.

  • No need to talk mess on him or his family. They are good people. I wish the kid luck. Cmon guys lets be respectful here. We aren't OSU fans for goodness sakes.

  • Sorry if he picks Florida we are all wrong.

  • Seems to be that most of what people are sick of is all of the conversation about him here. Hard to hold him responsible for that. He committed to OSU, quickly backed out, and since then what exactly has he done? How has he been stringing anyone along. This week, he said he'd announce at The Opening. He waited to hear when the organizers would let him announce, and he is going to do so. Anything else comes from the fact that he must be asked about this by analysts 20 times a day, and each time it gets reported. Sure, some guys have announced without any fanfare whatsoever, while he is making a thing out of announcing at this event. Can you really blame him for that? After all, everyone he talks to is desperate to know....so I am sure it has gotten an inflated sense of importance to him. Give the kid a break and let him enjoy himself. He has done nothing wrong, and has done nothing to cause the constant negativity of a bunch of people here. If he picks us, great. If he doesn't, I wish him luck.

    I generally agree with you.

    However, I've said this from the beginning. Based on what I've read and seen, It doesn't appear that there is *any* linebacker in the 2013 class that is a must-get deal-breaker. It seems that each recruiting season there is that one recruit that is elevated in status on message boards to be considered a must-get. AA seems to be that guy for the 2013 class. The reality is that he seems like a fine recruit and it would certainly be nice to have him at PSU, but if he chooses ND we will just move on to the next guy on the list and will probably get nearly equal productivity. Can't go wrong choosing either PSU or ND - both great programs and academic schools.

    If you're talking about only LB's, that might be the case but he clearly was not "that guy" for the entire class. Breneman, Hack and Dorian Johnson were all more important than AA.

  • Side note... ND fans dont even know when AA will be making a decision and they will get him. We are bickering over his commitment and he wont pick us... Interesting. We have the most passionate fans, hands down.

  • This anti- AA crap is total bs. I find it highly ironic that the same people who are bitching about the national media drawing conclusions without facts about PSU are happy to divulge exact same thing to an 18-year old kid. FACTS for all you holier-than-thou self righteous types: A) he hasn't announced yet. Hasn't picked ND yet. MIGHT still be a Nittany Lion. B) HE ISN'T delaying his announcement - ESPN and Nike are. Not his choice. As for his being a "media whore", the kid is getting interview requests EVERY DAY - it's not like he's seeking them out - so that Internet recruiting geeks like US can know what's going on - but then you blast him for being responsive. Level of ignorance in this thread has reached an all-time high.

    Both of them are great LBs... And could be Penn Staters. I am sick of people dissing these 17 yr olds. I wish AA good luck no matter where he goes.
