Internet rumors/innuendo are internet rumors/innuendo. Maybe someone can piece together the timeline or talk to someone on the Wisconsin Rivals site?

See the posts above. Internet comment and Reddit rumor/innuendo.
Wow, looks like Schiano is finally ditching the holier than thou act and getting serious about getting talent into the building.
I don't know which song I hate more- Pina Colada or Margaritaville.
Maybe they should try. At least the team that sings that wins and goes to post season games.
On the bright side, every time the team is on offense is an opportunity to grab a beverage, use the restroom or just take a nap without fear of missing anything.
But if the word got out in the Badger forums that a few RU posters were gloating about outrecruiting Wisconsin for the kid, he was probably just itching to bring the information to RU fans' attention... I could be wrong, but if the situation was reversed, I'll bet that one of our more aggressive fans might consider doing the same thing on their board, although not necessarily in the same words.
Who knows what the intent of the Wisconsin poster was-maybe giving RU a heads up. All there is now is rumor and innuendo. Did Wisconsin pull the offer, or was the player quietly told he might want to look elsewhere because of what was revealed at his HS. Nobody has revealed for certain if he was directly, indirectly involved or not involved at all. This is the nature of internet rumors and innuendo. The police did a full investigation, and nobody was arrested, so at least based on that, perhaps there was no evidence or insufficient evidence that a particular player did anything that was an action that would lead to an arrest. Is it fair to any of those kids if there is not direct proof or corroborating proof that they did something wrong? Not taking sides here, but until someone has video or a witness to say they saw something happen and done by a particular person, it is not fair to single out a particular player or players as having done something wrong.
So if this is true I don't want this kid. There are just some things that you don't do and know are wrong.
I think that one problem might be that during the investigation the victim and witnesses provided accounts of what transpired, and the suspects provided different accounts.. Apparently the scandal has been hush hush at the school. Seems like maybe certain people in the town don't want to get their star football players in trouble, or maybe they want to minimize potential civil liability..
And that is the problem and why it is wrong to point any fingers and say that a particular player committed a certain act. I am not defending any particular player. And for the poor disabled kid who was apparently hazed and urinated on, he may not even know which particular players assaulted him because things may have happened so fast and with a large group. But to the extent the hazing happened, it is disgusting, and they should consider shutting down the football program for a short while like they did in Wall Township. Something similar happened in Sayreville years ago too, and forget if they shut the program down. In Wall, the situation was quite severe and allegedly a broomstick was used in a hazing incident. This kind of stuck is sick and perverse. Don't understand why anyone thinks this is OK. Schools should enact a zero tolerance stance on these incidents and shut programs down for the remainder of the year if there is sufficient evidence showing a hazing incident and an assault happened.
Aww crap.. rumors swirling about halfway down this reddit page...
Good points, but from all that I've read on the subject, these weren't isolated incidents with the victim. These three or four top Middleton players apparently showed no mercy in bullying him over a period of many months. But still, the only thing linking our new commit to the bullying so far is the word of some Wisconsin fans, and the word of some residents who live in the area. Could they be mistaken? Possibly. Doesn't seem like a very good look though, regardless. But as all of us are, I'm hoping that Pilof wasn't involved.
Even if he was involved in some way, I'd like to think he has a chance to redeem himself... maybe some volunteer work.. some way to right the wrongs. Destroying a kids future cannot be the only response... though bullying is an especially heinous act because of how many times you see the bullied kids go nuts and kill themselves and/or take others' lives.
