PSU loses first commit since sanctions

Ross Douglas decommits from Penn State - Football Recruiting - Midwest Region Blog - ESPN

From article:

Four-star cornerback Ross Douglas (Avon, Ohio/Avon) decommitted from Penn State, he told ESPN.com in a text message.

Douglas visited Nebraska recently and will go to Wisconsin on Friday. Douglas was wavering and made the decommitment official shortly after the sanctions were released.

Bert will welcome him with open arms...and open wallet, no doubt.

Maybe we can get a visit out of him.

You know the Jerry Maguire scene when he's desperately trying to call his clients before someone else at the firm can speak with them? And he always seems to be one call too late?? I'd imagine that scene is playing out in Bill O'Brien's office as we speak.

I really dont see iowa getting any of penn st.s players/recruits.

Why not? If Malik Golden decides to jet I'd assume he'd give us a good hard look. We've got some spots where guys could come right in and start.

Even if these kids that decommit don't come to Iowa, its still going to be awesome to watch them all abandon PSU.

I can understand decommitting from PSU. What I can't understand is verballing to them in the first place. Did Douglas think this was all going to blow over?

Think about it, these kids can go wherever they want now. Do you really think any would come to iowa when they could go to Mich or Ohio. St?

Yeah I do, if they can play at Iowa vs sitting on the bench at Michigan.

Not if they abandon them to Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Michigan.

Doubtful

 

[IAHawkFan]

Ohio State, Michigan, and Wisconsin are going to get some PSU players/recruits. Pitt might get a couple...

Yeah, I don't know that it will be all that awesome watching players abandon PSU to go to those schools...

You don't realize the power of the "cult" over there. They obviously got to Douglas early.

If these kids start going to schools in the big 10 I hope they go to teams that aren't in the Legends division.

Urban Meyer is basically getting handed a championship game appearance for as long as he coaches at OSU excluding this year. Im sure Wisconsin will win their division every once in a while but the Leaders division is going to be OSU's for the majority of the time.

Hopefully Delaney reconsiders reallignment.

Exactly! They will compete for championships right away.
