If it was a clearinghouse issue, then why not wait until it clears. If he was as committed to LSU


Nobody knows.

One of 2 things happened:

1. Something happened that was LSU's fault
2. Something happened that was not LSU's fault...but Pratt views it as being LSU's fault

It's pretty obvious that this is a very new development since he was actually down here to enroll.

1. Something happened that was LSU's fault and some dirty tactics were used in addition to this to get him to OSU.

I think the word on Conner is that the coaches only want him as a LB.

Actually neither scenario is true. Pratt admitted it was a transcript thing and he didn't feel comfortable at LSU. He felt better at OSU so he an OSU recruit now.

i don't know why everyone is so worked up over pratt. he looked like a pretty good player, but he never would have been the starter and lsu isn't exactly desperate for running backs. he plays with a lot of finesse for a 220+ lb back

Cadello, you are a complete tard, you know that? This kid made a decision that will affect the next 4 to 5 years of his life. There is no need to attack him. I feel for the kid's school screwing him over, and hope he is successful and makes the best choice for him. Grow up dumbass.

He finds this out as he goes to move in?

No, if this is true, I still say all of this is on account of DP being embarrassed because he got screwed by the clearinghouse and blaming it on LSU to save face for something that went wrong in HIS camp (i.e. him, his family, his coaches, etc.).

Yep, mix an 18 year old's maturity level with epic embarrassment, and some crazy decisions will get made. DP will regret this in the long run IMO.

So you call Cadello a "tard", and then finish your post with this gem:

Staying classy as always, eh Bob?

I meant frick him and move on. Its over let it go, stop dwelling on the past. Good for Pratt, more power to him. I dont care about what he does anymore. Try to understand a statement before attacking someone.
And F U dumbass

He might not win a Nat'l title... but he may just turn into a great back... OSU has had a couple that turned out pretty well.

Who cares...
