Rhoads comments specifically about each recruit and the plans he has for them....but not on Pavlenko's video. That just tells me they missed on top LB choices (which was chronicled by many) and wanted to fill out the class and were willing to take a chance. For whatever reasons, it didn't work out.

Even though he committed last summer? Your logic fails to amaze me.

And the last video I saw had both Wally and CPR talking about how he was going to be a weakside linebacker ("same spot Jake plays"), so I don't have a clue what you are insinuating. And frankly, it's an insult to the kid.

Who's the freshman lineman who quit?

I saw a post on a U of Arizona message board that said Adam is headed to Scottsdale CC. Best of luck to the kid.

Those were some of his other offers (the service academies). I hope this kid can go to JuCo and find his way. Disappointing for a 18-yr old kid to have his path on the skids already.
