Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 2162879, member: 153"] With all due respect, this kind of post takes so many imaginative leaps, you started in Waterbury and ended up in Timbuktu. Plus, this board is so hung up on Diallo it's ridiculous. Step out of ourselves for once and realize that the Diallo story is common. There are kids who were OVERTLY signalling in the press that they were absolute locks to attend a university, and then they flipped in the last second. It has happened to Ohio State, Alabama, Michigan, LSU, Penn State. It is common. Granted, my examples are from football, but I can't even begin to tell you the level of certitude expressed by longstanding recruitniks who are usually (and for the most part) mostly mum. I don't think Oz is even in the same universe reputation-wise as some of the people (at the best schools) who have been burned in the past. [/QUOTE]
