PS was doing all they could to flip him, but yet their fans will tell u they did not want him. Scientologists have nothing on PS fans.Hey, wait! The BWI board rumors about Paris Ford going to Prep School and being re-recruited were false? I'm shocked they were all wrong. Shocked!
IMO - he said that to take the pressure off Ford, and to prevent the media from asking him constantly when he was going to play Ford.HCPN said that he will most likely redshirt, still great to have him in the fold though.

The odds are pretty good considering he's never played a college game and all we have to go on is his stellar HS career.IMO he has to play.
What are the odds he stays at Pitt 5 years let alone 4.
So if your going by his stellar high school career then doesn't that stand to reason that the odds would be less than normal he stays 5 years let alone 4 ?The odds are pretty good considering he's never played a college game and all we have to go on is his stellar HS career.
I remember the same things being said about Hamlin.
Like all players, the coaches will play him when he's ready to play and can help the team.
Welcome to PITT Mr. Ford!!
Part of Coach Duzz's interview....
Narduzzi’s secondary could use an injection of Ford’s athleticism and ball skills, and the thought all along has been that Ford can help immediately, but coach told player he’s not setting the bar sky-high for him.
“I’ll say this, he’s been here for a couple days — we kept that secret in the locker room — but he’s fired up to be here,” Narduzzi said. “We worked hard all summer, obviously, and it’s nice that everyone we signed got here. Some guys get here slower, but expectations-wise, Paris, he’s — you can say 17 days late.
“So my expectations are — and I told him the same thing — we’re not saying, ‘Hey let’s go, Paris, you’re the savior’ — that ain’t gonna happen. My opinion is he’s gonna redshirt, and if something else happens besides that, it’s a miracle, pretty much. It’s just too hard to come in as a kid like that, and come do it. We’re just happy he’s here, he’s in school, and that’s the main thing.”

I think this is coach speak and he could start later in the season and contribute on SP immediately.
Nobody knows how his H.S. body of work will translate at this level--whether he becomes a superstar like Larry Fitz or a semi-bust like Rushel Shell. There is a lot to learn.So if your going by his stellar high school career then doesn't that stand to reason that the odds would be less than normal he stays 5 years let alone 4 ?

Oh I know. He certainly appears to have all the tools to be a big time college player. It's just not realistic to expect immediate impact form any true freshman who missed 3 weeks of camp.True but he looked awfully good in the Under Armer AA game against top talent.

Using him as a decoy on some offensive plays as often was done with Whitehead ain't a bad thoughtAt RB or WR, it is. Not on defense.
