I don't buy any of these "excuses" kids are offering for decommitments! NONE!!

[TheGLOV]

You knew what you were doing when you committed.

I'm sure you talked it over with your parents/care-giver-guardian, grandma- or grandpa.

Coach Franklin makes SURE you understand the meaning of the word "commitment" before you give your commitment.

I don't want to hear that you got caught up in the moment; it was a rash decision, etc.

I have no doubt that other-forces are at work here using any means possible.

That being said; We only want the kids that want to be at PSU.

Thank you!

You forgot handlers. I think football recruiting is taking on some resemblance to h.s. basketball recruiting.

Good point sir.

In theory, correct. In today's world, this is the norm.

So when Penn State flips a kid are they using any means possible to flip a kid?

So is Franklin good at buttering up the handlers? I mean Penn State has had more than it fair share of flips.

I am glad you brought that up.

No, to answer your question but communicating is still permissible. Only communicating.

No, Franklin to NFL rumors.

No, instability of the staff, etc.

 

[manatree]

Do you buy any of the "excuses" from the decommits that flip to us?

The only reason he should butter up handlers would be to better put his foot up their ass.

you mean "reasons"

I would rather see a broken engagement than an unhappy marriage and divorce.

really it doesnt matter whether they flip to us or leave us - the word "commitment" does not have the same meaning today for this generation of players. it is good to know where they stand now vs in December-Feb period. later when they sign actual contracts in the pros, it is the same attitude......if it doesnt work you just walk away with no obligation is the attitude.

Handlers and the kids football coaches.

Here is maybe one reason I can buy if true:

 

[ClarkstonMark]

There's only like a couple thousand PSU Engineering grads (including myself) working in the auto industry lol
The proximity to Honda is one thing in OSU's favor though

 

[RickinDayton]

Here is maybe one reason I can buy if true:

Certainly seems like a very good reason to me. Hopefully the young man is able to fulfill those academic dreams.

 

[Nitt1300]

ROTFLMAO

of course you are

 

[Delco Lion]

Sounds like you dont respect their decisions??

 

[blion72]

Here is maybe one reason I can buy if true:

this is one of the better reasons i have seen for making a decision. I think i might have asked the two eng programs this question before i made a verbal though. UMich is probably better positioned than even tOSU with regard to auto industry.

 

[christoph]

Football AND engineering. Uh sure

Please stop, don’t get Wolveeee started praising the exemplar merits of the UM school of Engineering.

Stanford has an even better engineering school:

Bing-fing-O. If it mattered that much to you, why wouldn't you have done so in the first place? Hey, the kid wants to play at osu, that's fine by me. I hope he starts... I hope he starts realllllly fast. I think we have a few guys who will ruin his day (and he's hoping Oweh et al are long gone before he has to take the field).
