Have you seen his film?? Outstanding QB. He is Stanfords to lose. Staying at Stanford he can still be coached by his Dad, Geep, who is QB coach at SF 49′ers.

Also, expect the Quip pipeline to go elsewhere this year.
Lets look at number of committs so far!!!
Pitt – 0
Rutgers – 8
OSU – 7
PSU – 4
UNC – 6
VTech – 5
Chryst and crew don’t know how to recruit and land top players?? I’ve been beating that drum for 16months now!!

Local kids should be the lifeblood of the program. However can’t fault the
staff from recruiting the best players. Success starts at the QB position. We just lived
thru three seasons of Pitt not having enough options and/or talent at QB.

Why can’t Chryst keep highly rated players… ie. Rippy & Jackson.
Why did Jackson leave?
Was Rippy overrated coming out of HS? Was he not putting the work in? He played well in the all-star game. Or is it a risk to recruit wpial Single A ball (Sto-Rox) players. Speed of the game is much different in wpial A vs AAAA.
I figured Shell was going to leave.

Best wishes to Shell. Cal or UCLA are viable choices.

He would just have to pay his way the 1st year and not eligible for an athletic scholarship… similar to Flacco. Wanny wouldn’t release Flacco just like Paterno would not release Bolden but in Flacco case, he went to Delaware and his family paid the 1st year.

However, Shell can apply for any other financial aid available at the school that is available to anyone…. and in Shell’s case, he would get a Free Ride based on financial need and I’m not talking about loans!
So, it really doesn’t matter in Shell’s case about the blocking and he probably doesn’t have to have an NCAA hearing.

Regarding Carrington, Pitt didn’t believe he was going to ASU but to some Texas school. That is Chryst being naive. Let’s call it what it is. In this case, Pederson stepped in! Fool me once, shame on you… but I’m not going to be fooled twice!!
