Webb/Drennon

  • POV said...

    People laughed about Muller to Rutgers only until they were no longer laughing.

    I could care less what "people" did. Everyone who had been following his recruitment knew RU was in it and our staff pissed him off.

    I'm not saying we'll for sure get Webb, I said I am not yet freaking out and writing him off.

    How are these situations even comparable at all?

    Both were presumed leans to PSU and then all of sudden got agitated and visited another school. Most PSU fans felt they were lesser schools and it didn't matter.

    I think more people are accepting reality this time, but not all.

    Nobody thought Rutgers was a factor until the week of his commitment. He was all PSU prior to that.

    I don't think Spulv worries about downvotes, lol. If he did, he would try posting something with out the unnecessary negative tone.

    Actually, if you look at 90% of my postings over the past couple of months, they are filled with upvotes....but Lawyer and JT$ are correct, there is a group of posters who just cant take it if you say one thing contrary to thier beliefs.

    Honestly, as a PSU fan, do you not feel this was somewhat of a mistake again? I mean time will tell, but here is how I see it. We had to work hard to get these 2 to take a look at us again after the debacle in the fall. We invited Drennon bake on campus. Drennon has 20plus offers, from the SEC to FLstate, to ND, to the Big 10. Maybe the staff doesnt LOVE the kid, but he IS a good proepect. Also, the last time I checked, our DE's were mediocre at best. We cant find a space for a good DE, when it will also net you a top 10-15 DT??? Its fairly confusing,

    So yes, I think we made a mistake on this one, and based on the response, I dont see a lot of superior DT talent that are ready to jump on board in Webbs place.

    Wtf does accepting reality mean? Saying hes a lost cause? Well F that, because that's wrong.

    Sorry we aren't all chicken littles. While this is by no means a good thing, it doesn't sink us completely with Webb. If he commits to UVa we'll see that it was a package deal, but thats also a helluva school and a good program. Not like Muller.

    And where has it been shown that Webb is "agitated"? These similarities are so general and vague, it's hard to take them seriously.

    Muller was being pushed to commit early. Webb's friend (who was already visiting other schools without Webb) was told that we just don't have room right now. Webb is, for the second visit in a row, going somewhere with his friends to a place that had never been considered a player for his services. Muller was known to favor both PSU and Rutgers.

    Not comparable at all. Even if this was the same staff as Muller encountered, it's two completely different situations.

    That's wrong. Sean had said for a while that he favored PSU, but he liked Rutgers a lot as well. Everyone knew he liked Rutgers, it was simply thought that he liked PSU better.

    Accepting reality in this case, is that a Webb commitment is a lot less likely than 36 hours ago. I never said we had no shot. My earlier post put the chances at 49% imo, while it was 90% prior.

    That he is less than a lock? Sure. I'll accept that reality. He was never a lock in my mind anyways. The kid goes a ton of places with his boys. I'd still say we are the smart money.

    And so complaining about losing Webb (even though that hasn't even been shown to be true yet) is the main topic, not necessarily what other DT's we're looking at.

    no, you wanted to know why my post started with that.....

    Webb was going to commit to PSU in short order. News comes out that Drennon cannot commit to PSU after talking to the staff. Now Webb is visiting UVA this weekend with Drennon, and a Webb commitment in short order is not very likely.

    I connected the dots on the agitation. I don't need quotes from the kid.

    It was a shock to everyone on here when Muller committed to Rutgers. It is revisionist history to state otherwise.

    Ok, sure lets go with that.

    Sean you're obviously wrong.

    Not fair. If I had access to Sean's post when typing, I would not have typed that.rottentomato

    Who was a part of his package deal?

    "One man didn't build this program and one man sure as hell cannot tear it down."

    Never said there was any package deal. I already responded to the similarities in situations earlier if you read the above posts. No 2 recruitments are 100% matches.
