Class of 2015 TE/DE Jake Pickard (NJ) Signed LOI

[djorange1989]

We need an average D-I quarterback.

We need a QB who should be playing QB, instead of a QB who should be a tight end or a defensive back

How about this gem He had 13 offers including Illinois, Louisville, Nebraska, Oregon, Rutgers, Virginia, Wisconsin, Cincinnati, UConn and BC. Syracuse seems a crazy choice. If being near home was critical, there was Rutgers and even UConn. 18 year old logic. I know ! It was the dome !


The whole thread is amazing, but UCONN What? LOL.

They act like they didn't offer him a scholarship? They wanted him to commit on the visit, he didn't, they moved on.

oh yeah. the kid that Tennessee cut bait with. the kid who was like 3rd team all state. whoopdee do. Our 2 star OL from Florida made 3rd team. Sounds to me like you got another over-rated kid .

Tennessee seems to recruit 30 players every year, for them to pull a scholly on a recruit, would be reason to step back, and wonder why.

The coaches told us to send it at 7 exactly they were on the phones with the kids at 705 if they didn't get the fax. It created a log jam on their fax.

Whew! I saw Jake's tweet without seeing the Brown/Wisconsin info, and I got super nervous for a minute. Obviously he's already signed but still, would have set a bad precedent.

I know it's a business and all and circumstances surely change, but it smells of bad ethics to tell a kid you'll be there and then literally 10-14 days after signing day you're gone. That type of business makes me sick.

Like shafer says, you pick the school. Coaches will come and go.

This specific circumstance was a bit different in that LSU poached a Georgia coach so it doesn't seem like this was premeditated, but yeah, the whole thing is gross. Kids need to stop signing NLIs
