+1 we are better than this
So... the thread was a rather unpleasant read. 
Anyone care to allege what improprieties took place or are we just saying "Petrino, enough said".... I only noticed that as the speculation. Agreed, from my rational, bias perspective it seems like things didn't play out as Husker fans would have liked.
But using my thinking and rational thought and trying to apply them to some kids to a kids decision sets me up for being discontent..
Also, @coachFitz needs to change is profile so he isn't advertising himself based on his sons future fame. Be a Dad not a fan.

It seems like Dez is a good kid and his dad is invested in his future. I doubt either would have ok'd the reversal over some kind is seedy dealings. Let's just chalk this one up to a kid falling back in love with the school he originally committed to.
You don't get to shut down other people who want to come here and speculate and offer their opinions and predictions about what a particular recruit is going to do. The vast majority of the readers here appreciate the insights of people who do have connections to the program and who have proven to be more right than not over the years. If you don't like that, then maybe you should stop coming to the recruiting board.

I'm disappointed about Dez's decision too. It sure seems as though something happened in the eleventh hour. I hope the young man goes on to a great career. Unfortunately, history has shown that counting on Petrino to follow through on a.commitment is a risky proposition at best. College football would be much better off without his kind. I.realize I'm not breaking any new ground here but just wanted to add my .02.

Did he also outline why he let a few jerks make him insult an entire state?
This is going to sound a little like sour grapes. It's not. I'd take Dez in this class in a hot minute. That said, if the Fitzgerald patriarch is going to helicopter his way through Dez's college years, it might be a bullet dodged.
If he had honored the "silent" commitment despite misgivings, he'd have one foot out the door. A dicey freshman campaign, and I think he'd transfer faster than you can say Jordan Stevenson.

This has to be the strangest reason I've ever seen a recruit cite for picking a school. It's one game in his entire career played on a neutral site.
There are those that might think playing Oregon and Ohio State in the 'shoe might be pretty cool, but to each his own. It reminds me of guys who used to get all caught up in the 'trips' some schools had to play in tournaments. All you'd hear on recruiting trips was, 'and we're going to Hawaii', which was nice, but when it came time to ask how many conference championships, or trips to the national tournament they had, things got kind of quiet. And looking on some websites trying to look at Louisville's schedule, I couldn't find anything on ESPN, and another site only lists next year which has FSU and Clemson, but none particularly exciting beyond that.
LOL I did the same. wouldn't it be funny if Ala decided to buy out of the game. :rolfl:
That weaker division thing always surprises me. First off, wasn't Iowa nearly in the playoff from the weaker division? And isn't it still that weak division champ that has a shot at playing for a possible playoff birth in the B1G championship game? Just kind of odd sounding.
