theguru Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 His answer makes perfect sense. Louisville is "hurting" for more at DB than they are at RB. So they knew a couple/three weeks ago but waited. Whatever, shady program... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tark the shark Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 The only thing shady is doing it 2 days before signing day. You should at least give the kid a week or two to set up some visits and have a respectable chance to get things sorted out. Doing it two days prior is a bad look... God, I love you avatar's. I was going to agree with your post, but then the new Ms. Gametime has got me distracted.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getslow Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 ^ I hear you Getslow but I don't buy Todd's answer, look at the other schools offering. UofL was correcting their mistake. Definitely not apologizing for it. I hate this sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoopsLady Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 So UL pulled this kid's scholarship so they could sign this fella : Bobby Petrino defends decision to give former TCU player Devonte Fields a second chance Given this issue and Petrino's own history of flawed character, I would stay clear of UL.

FarBeyondDriven Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 If schools can drop commits when their needs change, they why can't recruits drop schools when their needs change? Clearly, this is an elite recruit who does have other options. Still, he will likely sign with a school he has not seen and a coaching staff he has not met. If this were a less celebrated recruit, who could not generate other options quickly, it would be even sadder. They can and do. My daughter actually did this in October, 3 weeks before signing day, and it turned out real well for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I hate this situation, but I have praised Petrino in the past during his first round at Louisville and during his time at WKU for recruiting Kentucky players. I would say he was behind the 8 ball this year with recruiting and will make a big change by next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nWo Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 While this was not a football situation but, Louisville did the same thing to my daughter. They recruited her to run track. She signed, we moved her into her dorm on Friday. We didn't find out they pulled her scholarship until that Monday when she went to get her books. They never told us ahead of time that they were going to pull the scholarship. I was a really big UL fan until this happened. I didn't like the idea that they didn't tell us ahead of time. She eventually got her degree from WKY and is now working on her masters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
