Semi-OT: Weber's Recruiter Leaving OSU for the Chicago Bears

Submitted by EastCoast Esq. on

It looks like Stan Drayton (OSU's RB Coach and a listed recruiter for Weber) is going to the NFL.

I'm sure Weber was informed of this before he made his decision.

/sarcasm

 

On a serious note, I'm truly despising the conduct of these colleges. These kids commit to four years one day, and the person who they thought would be teaching them leaves the next.

Pic Stan Drayton over UM. He chose OSU over UM, he chose the Undisputed National Champion Ohio State Buckeyes over the 5-7 Didn't go to a bowl game, and can only get 12 kids out of entire country to commit to them Michigan Wolverines. I'm sure he is sad to see Drayton go. But us acting like he was somehow betrayed is just US being a bunch of fuking losers acting like we root for a team of fuking losers. Just saying how the rest of the world see us......

This kid gets a free four year college education. A chance to make a name for himself by playing football for a major college program, and has a chance to make it to the NFL, and make millions to be set for life. Poor fucking baby ! We should all be so deceived.

That we ALL want to believe he was deceived, he said he was hurt, not lied to, not fooled, not deceived!! What a sad bunch of losers we are. I don't see anything saying he wishes he didn't choose OSU. Know why?? Cause he doesn't !!! Kid wants to WIN, so he choose to go where they WIN. Not where they Lose and cry foul when they are treated like losers. This whole thread is a freaking laughable pathetic joke. NEWS FLASH, We suck, and kids who want to win and have championship rings are not coming here. So when you really want to know the truth as to why someone doesn't choose us Please Remember our 5-7 record and know that it's at the very heart of the reason 99% of the time.

certainly all CAPS is not justified.  Mods do what mods do for the common good.  Whatever punishment is meted it's not THAT bad.  A month without being able to create threads is nothing and proportionate.

The coach leaves in a month, six months, a year, I'm with you, but the next day? You think he just figured it out this morning? Drayton (and surely Urban) were engaged in an extended lie to get an 18-year-old kid to sign away the next four years of his life. All they had to do was wait one more day to publicly release a fait accompli. There are worse things in the world, and yeah, sure, crap like this happens all the time in recruiting. But to quote Joe Biden, this is a big fucking deal.

Urban announces on Signing Day that 3 OSU players are done because of "injuries."  So far, I haven't found out whether they agree that they are done.  https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football/2015/02/49736/reeves…

This is a shady program, not that they are alone.  I feel sorry for the kid, mostly because he's just a teenager.  An adult ought to know what he is getting into but not a kid.

The problem is that he left the day after Signing Day and persuaded Weber to commit to OSU. 

Basically he lied. He was never going to coach Weber until it was in the NFL.

That's the issue..not the fact that he left. But it's not like he just woke up today and had a job offer that he didn't have yesterday.

That's the issue.
