Mr. Lagow you might want to skip over this post.
I totally agree and I am calling "BS" on this one. I don't buy this for one second. RL may be sick but if he can tweet, he can sign his LOI. He doesn't need the dog and pony show, just the signed LOI. I understand it his big day, but in the end this is about getting a free education and playing football at a top notch institution. Have the media frenzy whenever you want. I have kids. My kid gets a high fever, I call the pediatrician. They say, give them Tylenol, see if the fever comes down. If not bring them in. they never say don't sign your signature, that's dangerous. What I don't get is he's tough enough to play with a broken bone, but he can't sign the LOI because of a high temp. Hmm???
Here's my crazy conspiracy theory.
RL was all UConn until a few days ago when the hometown kid with offers from BC, Florida, Pitt, UMass, Syracuse and UConn (not North Texas), was back in the mix. Now, he's not sure. He figures he maybe gets a RS year, if he doesn't win the job as a true frosh. Whitmer's gone in 2014, he's better then what we have in the cupboard. His comp is 6'0 Casey Cochran, who put up huge HS numbers against Pop Warner teams in CT. RL's a legit 6'6 and 8/16 and played in the best HS league in the country, won a 7v7 title, and holds offers from UConn and perennial powerhouse North Texas. He can win that job, be the starter for 4 years, 3 at the least. Then, BC changes coaches, Tim Boyle falls on UConn's doorstep. Local kid, big talent, big offers. Uh Oh!! RL's not the only sheriff in town anymore. Mr. Lagow's post start to raise eyebrows on here. He's trying to save face and at the same time get a feel for the local perspective on the new QB competition. Let's knock Boyle a bit, say he didn't want UConn, 2 QB's in one class won't work, this could change things for Richard....etc...etc. Let's put a feeler out there, see where this goes. The locals, for the most part, want both QBs. That ain't good. RL doesn't shy from competition.....but??? Son, let's hold on for a few more days. See what happens at other schools. North Texas will still be there, but maybe one of the big schools will have someone flip. If the situation's right, we find a new garage for the Raptor. They got that hometown kid now, he was offered by Florida and such. That ain't North Texas. The competition just got a bit stiffer, you sure you want to do this? Miles from home, competing against a local. You don't have the home field advantage. What if he's that good?
I don't think he will sign with us. He'll see what shakes out over the next day or two. If a school needs to add a QB late, he may find a home. If not he can always go to North Texas, play as a frosh and lead them to victory in the Gasex Chili Bowl.
With or without RL, we have one hell of a recruiting class in 2013.
