    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.

    I think many of us feel this way... And I'm done. Im moving on... Enough about this kid... Bring on Boyd and Lemelle...

    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.

    I agree! Plus he is committing to UNC that not news, like who really cares about UNC football! I wish the kid well, but dude come on. UNC does not draw the same hype as Penn State because they do not have the tradition to hold our nuts!

    No. His mom wasn't on board until she could see PSU for herself. But his coach is the one that made him look elsewhere and steered him away.

    Mom flat out does not want her son at Pedophile State University. It sucks to say it, but that is the perception folks. In her mind, that is what PSU is.

    So I guess you'd rather Adam Brenneman had just gone somewhere else then...

    AB pulled out a single hat and put it on. I'm pretty sure LJ was talking about the 3-hat monte game.

    This argument is STUPID. Can we stop trashing other schools when they get the kids we want? UNC had 9 players drafted last year. We had 2. UNC is not "nothing" in the college football universe. It is a great school academically. It has a great campus. The weather is nicer than State College. And the greatest football to ever play the game came from there. There are lot of worse places he could have chosen.

    Sad... Just sad... And this is a kid that was all gung ho PSU before hand... And I love how everyone jumped down my throat and said that I was being irrational and stupid... Where are all those people now? Seriously? One thing after another happened, and it was excuse after excuse. "Relax, its clear hes ours. He just want to see what else is out there. Mom will be back with him and he will commit on his next visit." That visit didn't happen and it was still "Relax, he just wants to commit before he gets to campus." Again, everyone said I was crazy... Now... I dont want to be right here... Because I was impressed with how gung ho PSU he was... But time after time he found a reason to not commit despite being BFFs with Hack and AB... It's not what a recruit SAYS, its what he does... Now he is drawing up drama where there is none, and at the same time, telling reporters before his presser that he is going to UNC? Immature? Yes. I know he's only 18, but we expect more from our kids. When Stephon Diggs and countless others were being immature in the process and we had no shot with them, it was "They arent PSU kids. Im glad we arent going after him." Now, because this kid was on us so long and seemed to be a MATURE, stand up kid, everyone is not as quick to make the same decision on an 18 year old. The signs are there for me... Creating an elaborate press conference ruse situation, telling media guys to keep quiet, despite his local media coming out before his presser? For what? Even last night I was practically cussed out for suggesting that this one is very much in doubt. I wonder what those people have to say now? I am really done here. Last vent of the day. I am just sick of everyone personally attacking posters for their opinion and being so certain of theirs, but when they are wrong, they still create excuses. Hilarious stuff. This is a message board. Opinions are welcome from me, I welcome open discussion and debate. I just wish everyone had the same perspective. But hey, to each his own. You will never hear me tell someone to "just shut up" after their first post on a subject.

    But anyway, I am done talking about this kid. I am over it and I need to stop talking about it. Thanks to everyone on here that is open and kind when dealing with people. I love when people get tech muscles. Sorry for going off on a tangent on a OT thread. Back to twitter posts. You will not get another RS or tangent thread from me on this OT thread. Sorry again guys. Just needed to get some stuff off my chest. TTYS

    To be fair, the kids who are getting drafted are the ones who got UNC put on probation. Sorry, but I find it hypocritical that the mom and/or coach is ok sending him to a school on probation.

    It's more than just football. UNC is a great academic institution as well.

  • I dont have a twitter account... Anyone with an account want to put AB and Hack in contact with Tyler Boyd? IMO is a better overall prospect than the Waterboy (he sho does love his mamma) or Lemelle.

    Nobody said that UNC is a bad school! I am actually a big fan of the basketball team, so no one is bashing the school. Now, The football teams tradition sucks with a capital "S"

  • RS to UNC.....?!?!?!? huh what..?! when..?! How the hell did this happen? This kid had me completely fooled. Sorry to bring this topic up again (I see that you guys have already had a debate about his commitment). But how did this happen..? Not that im depressed that he committed somewhere else, just that we had such a good momentum with our recruiting, then MM goes to ND, DOB goes to Wiscy n RS goes to UNC........... i feel like i got a blackeye

  • Is it me or is a 16yo kid going to single handedly save our program? I also really respect how gracious he was towards Switzer when I'm sure he felt way more disappointed than any of us. What an incredible get.

    Careful, we were lauding Williams the same way a year ago at roughly this time. I've learned my lesson and won't ever get sucked in again to what they say on twitter until they sign that LOI.
