The Lions' Pride

Whatever the case, something weird happened/is happening. He was all PSU and then suddenly chooses UNC without his Mom ever visiting PSU. I am not annoyed about him choosing UNC, just the way it happened.

Prior to what anybody may have heard, I will be announcing my decision tomorrow at my high school. I hope my friends family every1 can come!

Really? First off, it's "despite what anybody may have heard" not "prior"... Secondly really kid? Really? 2 independent WV newspapers have done stories running quotes from you on how you chose UNC. Which is fine, but really? We all know where you are going, whats the point? It's just dumb at this point.

Yeah, she said don't rush to any decisions, yet he chose UNC after visiting once. His advisors are just misguided. Its sad really... For him.

It is sad he doesn't have the proper guidance. I think the parents should step in and advise him accordingly. He isnt going to be used right there you will never hear from this kid again bank on it.

Huh? Were you a fly on the wall for his family discussions? You know nothing...just like the rest of us. He made a decision and just because you don't like it is no reason to attack his support structure. Leave it be.

These are OT twitter posts, I really don't think anything needs to be VIP only here :(

Sorry about that... Fixed.

he posted that around 7am this morning, before any of these articles came out.

Its obviously not about making a big suspenseful seen of the whole thing for him. He just wants an opportunity to celebrate with his friends, family and classmates all at once. Give the kid a break. He's excited about his decision and obviously decided he couldn't wait any longer to tell people. That's no reason he shouldn't get the opportunity to celebrate.

I think any parent concerned about incidents involving an old staffer is a bit nuts

As a parent of college students myself this would never bug me psu did what they had to fact is obrien wOuld utilize him the best or even wvu I believe his coach and family steered him in the wrong direction we have seen it before

LOL good point.

AB is the biggest TE recruit to come out in a decade, is a game changer, and announced for his hometown team in their darkest hour in the middle of PSU country. No offense to Switzer, he is a nice player, but he is no where near AB's class. Also, Switzer is announcing for an out of state school after one only one visit and after being a heavy PSU lean (taking photos, having family take photos, buddying up with two of the best prospects on the national stage that will influence his performance most on the field) and doing interviews about committing the day before. AB kept his decision secret until the very end and had NATIONAL media in Central PA... Hardly the same suspense or impact. At this point, why go to the conference? You know where he is going... And not that many people care... ESPN won't have a national headline on the front page about it... He is trying to create hype where there is none. And its kinda sad and getting old. LJ has it right.

Oh you are right. It is his right... But the way in which he is going about it may rub some Nittany Lion faithful the wrong way. And it is... Im done arguing too. best of luck to him, seriously. In Fedora's offensive system, he'll need it. Who is their QB of the future? Oh yeah lol But seriously best of luck to him... Sad... just sad.
