'07 CA DT Nick Wood (Washington Verbal)

[johnnd05]

According to a member of his high school team's staff, today in this thread, he doesn't have an offer, but is waiting for one with plane tickets in hand. ????????????????

That was then (i.e., yesterday). This:

no deal

(from the very same staff member) ... is now (i.e., today).

I think his point was that why would they get plane tickets if he was just going to say no thanks. I trust in robdog, but it does seem odd his dad would get plane tickets if he knew his son was going to say no thank you. Perhaps his dad didn't know how his son felt?

The kid still lives at home, you gotta think his dad knows what's going on.

 

[kjones]

Ok, then why the tickets? That part is still unexplained.

I think the problem here is that robdog's post was just to cryptic. I figured he meant that we decided not to offer, so the deal was taken off the table on "our" end; you're reading him as saying that it was Wood who turned us down.

In a way, both scenarios seem unlikely: why would we decide not to offer a top-notch DT given how recruiting went this year?; but meanwhile, why would a kid who had evidently bought plan tickets for a visit turn us down if we HAD offered him?

I think we need robdog in here to help clear things up ...

here's the situation. Nick's dad said to the ND staff if he gets offered he would fly Nick out. Polian said he would continue to show Nick's tape to Corwin Brown, but warned it maybe late. Well Nick's dad not wanting to be cought of gaurd got plane tickets to chicago just in case,if ND called say WED or THUR for a last minute thing. That being said it's all for not because they didn't pull the trigger

Thanks RobDog for the clarification and thanks for the updates

 

[Sweeney6083]

can't they still pull the trigger

This is the only question that matters. Doesn't make much sense to me.

 

[kjones]

Cool, thanks robdog. What you said makes much more sense. When someone said "he said thanks but no thanks" something didn't jive with me. It just made very little sense. Well, now we know. Do you think we made a mistake not to offer? I don't know this kid that well.

Thanks robdog for the updates.

I'm just as baffled as anyone else about why Nick wasn't offered. I was under the impression that Nick was offered, but that he decided that he would stick with his committment to Washington. I have no idea why the coaching staff is not offering this young lad. Only thing I can think of is 1) he didn't get clearance from admissions (not likely) or 2) Weis and/or Brown don't think Nick would fit into the 3-4 scheme.

I am baffled about this.

How about this for a third reason, Weis and Brown are waiting on an answer from a DT that no one has any idea they are involved with. Crazy thought I know, and there is absolutely nothing from anybody, anywhere that would make you think it is possible, but it does at least fall into the realm of the conceivable. Besides I'm bored now that ND seems to be finished recruiting, so I figured I'd throw out some untenable conspiracy theory to relieve the boredom.

Uh oh, marv is starting to recycle his avatars. Something is wrong. Are you ok, man? Are you sick? In a turksh prison?

 

[marv81s]

< How's this one then?

Since it is the weekend, I'll leave this one up till monday morning. Unless anyone has a problem now, then PM me and ask me to remove it. I will if anyone thinks it is not appropiate, I'll be cool about it and won't have a problem about it.

Just let me know and I'll remove it.
