Butler
- Thread starter noelr
- Start date
He has communicated to the other recruits in a positive way. Relax, he is looking around and oh, BTW is 17 years old. I have no concern about HCPN recruiting DBs
It's June..... worry about this in December. If I had the opportunity as a 17 year old kid to get free trips and red carpet treatment from other Universities, I'd most likely take them. I think on the other site someone said that kids commit verbally early in order to slow the process down and stop the constant badgering from various programs in order to really identify what's important to them. If Pitt is It for Butler, fantastic. If not, I have great faith in what Narduzzi and Conklin can do with recruiting and developing the DB position.

I would prefer my donations and season tickets go to someone who actually wants to come here and understands commitment
I have no problem with his wavering a bit during his early commitment but now he is using us as leverage and a fall back

To all,
We need to understand and think like a 17-18 year old. These guys already know where they want to go but an "official" visit is like a VIP mini wkd vaca
Plane flights, front row football/basketball games, best hotels, best restaurant, college parties, etc
All of these prospects are friends on social media and talk about their visit... The natural response is for others to if they have the opportunity and visits left to use all 5 visits
I had 5 visits and only took 4 still regret not taking the 5th....I could have seen a place I had never seen before for FREE
Some of these kids have never left their state or counties for that matter
So the question is WOULDN'T YOU TAKE ALL OF YOUR VISITS?
Rhetorical Question btw because if you say no you are simply lying to yourself

Maybe. I sucked so bad as athlete it never occurred to me lol
OH I GET IT......
Its ok to get optimistic and excited that Sanders is doing this to PSU....but when Butler is doing to Pitt is shameful and bothersome.
The Pitt fan at his best.......

True I could care less about state penn too. And I'm not concerned with butler. Not concerned with sanders... Hope we get them both
Who cares. DB is one position that we're in very shape at. I want to see more action at DT and DE, which is where we are thin.
Its not a commitment until signing day. Until then, its just a verbal, which means nothing. About as meaningful as a coach's long-term contract. And that's a contract, and it still means nothing.
A coach can pull an offer up until signing day. And kids get pressured every day to commit, and are told that their spot might be taken by someone else soon if they don't commit. With these being the circumstances, I'd advise any kid to verbal if it feels right, but to keeping looking around. Sucks to be a fan and watch this happen, but I don't fault any of the kids, given how the process goes.
