Chase Litton, QB, Tampa Wharton HS

[Triple B]

17 is old enough to see the movie Showgirls. If you can make that decision, you can handle your recruitment with some class.

 

I'm sure there are plenty in here that have been old enough to see Showgirls for a while .... You don't acquire class based on a calendar.

I haven't read too many posts on this thread - kind of just skimmed. But if y'all think USF pulled his scholly because he went to a football camp, you're crazy. Absolutely crazy.

There will be several USF commits that are planning on taking there 5 OV's - and they're not going to get their scholly's pulled lol

We're not "insiders", Mike.  I don't think most people think he had his schollie yanked, but many believe that IF Litton handled this as poorly as claimed by some, that Taggart SHOULD pursue another QB.  That's OK for fans to abhor certain behavior.  But all that is IF he actually headed to UF, THEN told Taggart & Co. after he Tweeted. Could be to Taggart it's more of a protocol/respect thing...or could be Taggart doesn't really care, and that he & Litton spoke of these type of visits before.  BUT>>>something prompted Litton to decommit, which I assume means Taggart is very free to pursue another QB and rescind Litton's schollie if he lands one.

 

I'm sure others will take their OVs, and hopefully communicate their intent/plans with the coaches.  Bayes has been a huge USF promoter, but was clear he'll take OVs.  Hey, they are 17, and get free trips to colleges and get to be pampered & catered to...why not?

 

By the way, Mike, you're over the "LOL Age Limit"...save that for the HS girls.(I'm kidding, Mike!!).

I couldn't agree with you more, Mike! Many years ago I was being recruited by D2 schools, so I have a better idea of how the recruiting process works than most. I opted to go to USF with my child hood best friend and we had the time of our lives. Trust me on this, schools don't pull offers because a kid takes a visit or goes to a camp at another school. First off, in the social media crazed world we live in, there would have been at tweet or Facebook post about it. Secondly, I bleed green and cold, but USF is not at a level of success and power within the football world to pull offers from kids as a "threat or punishment" for visiting other places. If we were Alabama I could see a tatic like that might work, but they don't even need to do that. Just face the facts he's a 17 or 18 year old kid that made a choice and he's having second thoughts. It's obvious that not too many kids today understand the definition of the word "commitment"

Not close enough to the recruits to know, but the few tweets we're seen here were more along the lines of "He's doing his thing, but we're as committed as ever".

 

 

And how in the world does anyone read those and say, "They've lost respect for him"?

 

I hope that's a rhetorical question to me, because I never made that leap. As far as I can tell, the others are unaffected by Litton's decommit.

 

 

Or they no longer care.

[Reliable Source]

Pretty sure many of our commits look up to Deiondre Porter as a QB before they look to Litton.

That's correct. Rhetorical to you.

Well, you are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine. If I were a betting man, I would make the gamble that some have lost respect for him. Vincent Jackson being incredulous over the situation and others stating they are committed with or without Litton tells me they no longer care where he goes. Personally, if I saw somebody publicly endorse something then do a complete 180 I would think that person is full of ****. Which is excatly how I feel about Litton. But if you want to keep playing devil's advocate go ahead..

 

 

You're talking awful tough about a kid that isn't even a senior in high school. But hey if that's your thing...

[WWMJD]

Red flag after red flag with this kid.  Pull the offer and move along to the next guy.

[bull-71]

The Ideal situation is that commitments are honored by school and recruit...the second best is the recruit keeps you informed so that both USF and the recruit can adjust to changes ....(a heads up)

 

The "last thing" desired  is the school and or the recruit change his mind and the other is  Blindsided.  

 

When it becomes apparent that the "last thing" is reality ....kids and schools need to move on..

 

The quality of life depends on choices...this is a basic truth..businesses do not like to be unprepared ...and Football is a business..

Chase Litton is not the only QB looking for a home.....CWT and USF have it right cut your investment/losses and invest in someone who is more mature....

 

Go Bulls

Sometimes it is necessary. But hey, if you would let me know what age it is acceptable I will make note for future reference. Thanks!
