HCPN did not like the way Loe was handling his recruitment. Pitt made this decision. Hope he enjoys New Brunswick!
No surprise. He visited Rutgers recently...
He's made about 3 visits to RU
That he decomitted.
Anything else is spin
RutgersAL doesn't report facts lolAbout 3 visits! Sounds like Rutgersal
Yep. But mostly that he was "committed" in name only. Kinda like being married, but sniffing around on Ashley Madison on the side.....It was definitely a combination of things.
Sorry to hear of your school's loss.If this was the Syracuse board, it would have been "We never offered". This happens non stop now to every team its part of the game. It unfortunately results in wasting a lot of time or money chasing.
Sad day overall at RU we lost a student who was a freshman wrestler in a tragic accident.
which SU board? I dont here guys talk like that. I hear it more rutgers boards more than any. The guys on the boards I'm on dont say that at all. Now sometimes we hear the staff were not hot on a particular recruit/commit and told him to look elsewhere. Some times they just stop recruiting them for various reasons. That happens too. Just like with every other school. But I never hear guys say we never offer. Sorry about the loss.If this was the Syracuse board, it would have been "We never offered".

We take visits from players commited elsewhere , right?I'm sure it was the visit to Rutgers recently, accompanied by tweets from Rutgers reporters of him heading in to the Rutgers football facility with coaches.
It's embarrassing, and you simply can't allow a guy that you feel isn't 100% with you to show you up like that. So they likely told him to move on, and he likely wanted to anyways. It's like a divorce between two people who wake up one day and realize they don't want to be together but wish no real ill will on the other.
Pitt's staff has to protect themselves and their "brand", and they did the right thing not letting this drag on to an eventual decommit.
Proof again that every single kid values different things about different places and they all choose where they go for many reasons.

It's not embarassing or protecting any brand .
Are you telling me if Paris wants to go on a visit, we will yank his scholarship?
Cmon
I do.He's a slightly above average recruit at a position we brought in a ton of talent last season. We can replace him rather effortlessly. If this was Ford we wouldn't move on. And you know this.
Disappointed
It was definitely a combination of things.
Come on... it is pretty obvious here. We have Ford and Hamlinand all the guys this year. Wade, who is a top 10 recruit and a slew of other DBs we are recruiting. Loe HAD TO see he was getting swallowed up in numbers here. I think that is pretty obvious.
Thinking anything else is pretty silly.
I do.
Which is why talking about "embarrassment " and "protecting a brand" is silly .
He wasn't considered worth the effort to retain when he waivered .
Nothing more and nothing less .
It's not about principle or something silly like that.
Yep. If Lamont Wade committed to us, and then took visits, we wouldn't be pulling his scholly.
Would have loved to have had him here...but not a game changer imo.
More room for Wade now!!

Rutgers is ahead of Penn State right now and the New Rutger's Coach is doing way better recruiting than expected.He's made about 3 visits to RU
Go to Rutgers one day and you'll have to say he's doing a great job recruiting.Rutgers is ahead of Penn State right now and the New Rutger's Coach is doing way better recruiting than expected.
Funny! We could have fifty verbals and there would still be room for Wade.
It seems Loe has a bit of Butler in him ~
