at least it is his home state school...not like Houston we have a problem
The thing is, USC HAD to know! I mean, this kid's high school coaches were openly telling people at the last AA game that they wanted him to stay in-state. OPENLY TELLING PEOPLE. These are supposed to be professionals who are telling a kid already committed to one school to decommit and stay local (they wanted Kentucky, and guess where he's going?). If these coaches did this to an ND player, we'd be Defcon Level 1 (nerds tell me this is the highest level).
Then you had momma wanting him to go to Louisville. Then you have the kid decommit under pressure from momma and presumable coaches. Then the USC coaches fly down and convince him to stay, and his momma is on board with it and says they are done with the process. But guess who gets to maintain contact and see the recruit MUCH more than the USC coaches? Yup, the local schools. So as USC flies home, the local schools start hammering away on Hatcher again, and now he flips.
My point - USC HAD TO KNOW THIS! How could they not read the tea leaves? Same thing with Ramsey - when there is THAT much smoke, there is fire. Same thing with Prevot and Fallah. Now they're scrambling, calling their ex-flames or chicks they didn't even give the time of day to, looking for a prom date at the last minute, embarrassing the hell out of themselves. And guess what? They all already got dates you fools!!!
You know whose class isn;t imploding? Penn State's class (and ours of course). Coaching people, coaching...
