BAD NEWS: Malcom Pridgeon

[OSU2015]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news for the Rutgers faithful but it is being reported by the Rutgers 247 site that Malcom Pridgeon did not commit to Rutgers yesterday. Has anyone else heard this? If this has already been reported here please delete. http://rutgers.247sports.com/Board/Rutgers-Scarlet-Knights-Message-Board-Forum-101478


You guys still had an awesome day in regards to your recruiting yesterday.

Where'd you get this information? Just curious!

Ah, shite.

One of the recruiting staff of the Rutgers 247 board just reported that Malcolm never committed and will take all of his visits per his HC.

That's all I got. Maybe someone here is a member of the 247 site and can confirm it.

 

[ruthetiger]

If true not good! But, rumours are rumours.

 

[RUONTHERISE]

Why did Flood send out a tweet about his commitment? Obviously he must have told Flood he was on board.

 

[RU85inFla]

This site reported it. This site has been ultra conservative with respect to things like this for over a decade. I don't think they changed their stance last night. That however doesn't mean there isn't conflicting info.

Nj.com deleted all their links about it too

I apologize as I didn't see it listed anywhere.

No need to apologize. Very odd that a commitment all over the Internet is now being backtracked. Still hope he ends up here.

Wonder why the main 247 site said he committed if the Rutgers 247 site said he didn't

I don't believe they have got around to talking that article down yet. The thread on their site that is reporting this info was updated twice with the last update coming at 4pm today. The staff member reporting it said they would take him off of the commit list.

The RU 247/7 site has an announcement that he committed. On the board(similar to this) they have a thread of him committing and another thread with a 4pm update from today by their Mod who says he is not committed and will take all 5 visits.

If you click on his name, it shows his commitment status as "soft verbal". That doesn't sound like a commitment to me but we shall see.

Agree, soft verbal sounds like he just has RU as #1, but looking around to see if someone else suits his fancy better.
Hopefully he'll find RU the best fit and become Sir Malcom

 

[biazza38]

I'm just gonna go drink. This would be a new record for us

 

[Rutgers25]

There was definitely a big miscommunication with Flood and I bet he isn't too happy. There is no way Flood would send that tweet out if it was clear to him that Malcolm was giving the softest of softest commitments and taking all visits....

Sometimes there just isn't enough bourbon. Normally I don't get this aggravated about RU Football until the season begins.

I think it was more along the line that he had second thoughts overnight

Seen it before. Kid gets caught up in the moment. Commits on the spot and then goes home and talks to mom/dad or coach and decide they need to slow down. Wouldn't be the first or last time it happened.

 

[RUfan121]

Flood is still Flood.

 

[MADHAT1]

It' ain't over till it's over a famous philosopher, named Yogi, once said.

Soft verbal /solid commit, LOI day signing is what counts for every recruit, no matter what type of verbal they gave.
Don't like the confusion, but won't jump to a conclusion

Just like many other recruits across the country...seems like more and more are just making a "reservation" early to lock in a spot...then over the next 6-7 months...they keep shopping to see if a new "hotel" offers them a room and so on.

Good news is that a majority of first verbals stick with their first choice...but its becoming harder and harder to hold on to this early "reservations" as sometimes kids don't understand the word "commitment".

As Jerry Seinfeld use to say (paraphrase): "Making a reservation is the easy part...its the HOLDING of the reservation thats the most important."

Because you might fall and suffer a contusion.

Apparently it's all an illusion.

So there will no talent infusion?

But we still have a of dooshin'.

Must say its all rather amusin'

Well now, you're just cruisin' for a bruisin'

 

[ruthetiger]

This thread...y'all are abusin

 

[mikershoein]

If he doesn't go to R U it will be a little bruisin'

 

[T2Kplus10]

Flood breaks his own decommit speed record.

Hopefully we will get him back

If Malcolm does sign his RU LOI, will you admit Flood can recruit, or go into seclusion ;)

 

[Kbee3]

Some of you are getting all negative about this guy but I'm refusin'.

 

[Dr. Potato]

"Soft Verbal" is like getting half of a hand job. Totally useless and meaningless. And shouldn't even be allowed.

Speak for yourself! I couldn't deny a woman just because she only had half a hand!

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

He just want to be wine and dine by official visits but he is coming here. No worries.
