Nice find.

 

[jekelish]

Which, with hindsight (and obviously we didn't know this would happen at the time but still), makes the notion of not ever contacting RW Sr. even more ludicrous.

My prediction, based on no inside knowledge at all, is that RW reconciles with his dad and both make an attempt to get back with Syracuse.

I wish I could believe that, as well, but I think even if he reconciles with his dad, RW is water under the bridge as far as SU is concerned. You just don't call out the coaches like that in public then expect them to look the other way down the road.

Agreed. It would not surprise me at all if RW realizes he made a mistake, but he's burned the bridge, I fear. I don't think the staff would take him at this point.

he could always blame it on being misquoted...

I didn't say anything about Syracuse taking him back.

 

[Cusester]

Never say never. Much stranger things have happened in football recruiting.

No, he's going to the University of Syracuse now.

I won't say never, but from what I've heard, I think the door is closed about 95% of the way by the coaches and I don't see it opening much, if at all, going forward. If we were to flip another RB recruit (and we're pursuing a few for potential flips) then the door gets closed 100% and I'm comfortable saying "never" is appropriate here.

I just don't see how you can come back from throwing a coach under the bus publicly.

If we flip the kid from Illinois then I'll never think about RW again.

Right. Its just about as dumb saying the recruit is solid. Whatever that means. Well know once the contracr is signed.

 

[kcsu]

The coaches are adults and realize the situation. I believe that with an apology they would take RW as he is a good kid who is in a tough situation

 

[weedsportwarriors]

I thought this thread was about Aapri not Robert.

 

[JrodCuse]

The two are related

 

[weedsportwarriors]

The two are related

I know, but Robert has his own thread.

 

[jekelish]

I know, but Robert has his own thread.

His thread was locked a couple weeks ago.

 

[Finwad32]

I know, but Robert has his own thread.

Exactly...

It was locked for a reason, I'd rather not see his stuff here. They should be treated separately, related or not.

 

[weedsportwarriors]

His thread was locked a couple weeks ago.

I did not realize it was locked, thanks. Like Finwad said though it was for a reason. I was just trying to get everyone back on Aapri and not Robert.

 

[jekelish]

Aapri broke the Gaston County rushing record last night. 401 yards on 16 carries. Yes, 16 carries. That's an average of 25 yards per carry.

And also, this:

 

[Libero2]

How many TDs in those 16 carries? I'm guessing at least 5 of way over 50 yards.

 

[jekelish]

4 TD. He also had 2 interceptions and 8 tackles on defense.
