[QUOTE="HoustonCuse, post: 1774661, member: 87"]
I remember when Daryle Watkins committed to Syracuse. It was rumored to be down to SU and Rutgers. His dad apparently thought Syracuse was a better option and he steered him here. That caused the Rutgers board to go into hysterics, going so far as to make claims that it was "child abuse" for a parent to "force" a kid to go someplace he supposedly didn't want to go. The entire reaction was so immature, preposterous, and embarrassing for Rutgers fans that it has stuck in my mind all these years. Now I see our fan base getting danger close to acting the very same way. I'm pretty disappointed in what I've read over the past two weeks here.

Taurean may well end up going to some other school and if he does, he does. Take it like a man. If he commits to SHU, there are people here acting like it is the equivalent of him (or his mom) coming to their house, punching their baby in the face and pooping on their living room floor.

Also, please remember, he may very well commit to Syracuse. He may become your favorite player. He might be a hero winning us a huge game down the road. He may be remembered fondly as a key guy in a great stretch for the program. And you will be able to look back on all your immature whining posts disparaging him and his family for not announcing his decision on your selfish timeline.
