Class of 2019 WR Nazir Burnett (PA) Committed to Ga Tech

[PAcuse]

Does he even have an offer from Ped St?

Nazir Burnett - WR
Bishop McDevitt HS, Harrisburg, PA
2-4-7 Rating at Commit Date *** 8/3/2018; Current Rating 10/05/2018 ***
Major (6) - Syracuse, BC, Michigan St, Pitt, Rutgers, WVU

Not sure how often (if ever) this is updated.
I mean, it erroneously lists Rutgers as Major rather than Mid Major, so...

I've seen nothing from Penn State about him, I searched local news papers not seeing anything with him and PSU

 

[TheCusian]

Sucks. This was the kid I was most amped about.

Two things: First, this is exactly the type of receiver we WANT lining up to play here; Second, you can be upset with the decision, but I would refrain from saying "The hell with him" as it does not reflect well on us as a school or a fanbase. He is a young man who is making an important decision, and I think he did it with great class and sincerity.
We are better than that.

 

[orangemass]

Too bad. On flip side opens up scholly for positions of need. WR is not a position of need at the point. Numbers wise

Central PA ... Makes sense

Just because there isn't an offer listed doesn't mean they aren't recruiting him.

Dude. He's still under contract for THREE MORE YEARS.

It's a GOOD thing that he's regarded highly enough to be considered for other jobs.
You'd rather he suck so we don't risk losing him?

I knew there was a reason I was ignoring you.

Franklin and Richt would tell these guys that Dino is a great coach and a nice guy, but he is going to be bought out by a big program and won't be at Syracuse to coach you. Don't you know anything about the recruiting trail?

 

[cuse309]

But really just sounds like a kid that knows hes got a special opportunity and wants to do his future justice and know every option

A verbal commitment is not binding in any way. I don't believe that you're no longer allowed to take OV's after giving a verbal. So my question is, if he's still got Syracuse #1, and just wants to go check out other offers, and do his due diligence, then why even bother tweeting that you've de-committed? He could still remain verbally committed, and still check out the other schools.
Sounds to me his mind is made up.

 

[DocFlanders]

Such an odd time to decommit, with our meteoric ascent and all, especially for WR’s

 

[orangenauburn]

tOSU?

 

[cuse309]

Babers still isn't extended and there are articles in major publications saying he is a candidate for other jobs. I don't know how people think this is not a bad thing and is being used against him is beyond me.

How would we know if he was or wasn't extended? The University doesn't need to make an announcement, and Wildhack just said today, that when it comes to talk of money, he and Dino keep it to themselves.

Some schools will pull a kids commitment if they take OVs.

If you want to have a discussion on Babers contract extension take it to the football forum.

Right, but Dino encourages people to do their due dilligence. I doubt he would have pulled it for doing such...or am I not understanding correctly?

 

[crales44]

Well, shoot.

 

[cuse309]

Harbaughhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

 

[Orijinal]

I betcha it's Pitt, guys. They are selling leading the Coastal division right now and selling knocking off Cuse.

 

[721Comstock]

Just because there isn't an offer listed doesn't mean they aren't recruiting him.

Well, they already have verbals from a 4* and a 3* WR this class, plus a TE.

And they still haven't officially offered him, right?

I get why he might want to check out his options.
I'll never get why kids don't do that FIRST, and THEN, you know - COMMIT.

edited to add: HAAAAARRRRRRRRBAUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!

Nazir may have gone to Babers and told him he wanted to take his OVs. They may have agreed the best thing was for him to decommit until he was sure...it allows the staff to recruit someone else for the position.

Ha! I said this just as it was reported Michigan is getting involved

Because some kids find themselves on the outside looking in when they drag their feet in committing. Spots fill up. And Nazir blew up this season. Others took notice.

Dudes. I want to settle everybody down. We are gonna be fine.

All press is good press

Michigan also has 2 WR's (4* & 3*) and a 4* TE in their current class of 24.
