OT: Kenny Pickett decommits from Temple
- Thread starter RU-Choppin-Ohio
- Start date
The record is murky:
Shea Dixon@SheadixonAnthony Russo confirms that he committed to Temple. #LSU visited him Friday, but didn't extend an offer. Dwayne Haskins visits next weekend.
Right, but it was also reported that the offer was contingent upon Russo visiting Baton Rouge, which he considered, then declined.The record is murky:

I don't really remember much of Pickett to be honest. Is this a kid that Rutgers will now target? Does it have any connection to RU going forward?
Don't think Pickett has a offer and no we aren't recruting him. We already have our stud QB from SPP
Sort of a chicken/egg situation- word around the time was LSU would offer if he went on visit, but he wouldn't go on visit without the offer first. The impression given was if he was offered, he would have taken visit.
...not like any of this means much now anyway. Alll of this info and a buck will get you a cup of coffee.

So he turned down a free trip to Baton Rouge or was he told to take an unofficial visit & maybe they'd offer?
Seems like he was a back up plan if they could not flip Haskins. Based on my reading of the record.
Some Rutgers fans were super excited seeing Field in his overalls .He had folk hero status with those fans.His football ability obviously didn't measure up to the Division 1 level.
Why are you being so stubborn about it? It was pretty well documented by legitimate sources, and affirmed by people close to him and Temple.
SHU: show him your degree and he will show you his:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
...yes, because ScarletNation.com is *the* source for Temple football news and discussion...
(...sorry, but you walked into that one:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:)

I'm not being stubborn. I just know what you're saying is not true. Not flaming. Just doing my best to debunk hearsay when I know it to be incorrect. No hard feelings.
You have no idea how well he will perform once he competes.
He has all the physical tools needed to succeed.
"Star" watchers are not always right.
HAIL TO PITT!!!!
He's a good QB. So is Devitto. I think all 3 found the right fits for them. Should be fun to watch their fb careers.
Temple-Pitt, if not a RU commit it really doesn't matter what school he goes to for me .
Wish him luck academically , but athletically only wish Pickett an injury free career .

Yea have fun with that crappy argument on why you're so overjoyed to take a kid only temple would offer. He was a nice Plan E for us.
He'll have a far better shot at seeing the field at Pitt than at Temple, where he would have been behind Russo for 3-4 years.
Well I guess all the SEC schools declined to offer Terry Bradshaw (Pittsburgh Steeler's) because they thought he was not good and had to go to Louisiana Tech. Recruiting is an exact science according to you.
HAIL TO PITT!!!!
And for every one Bradshaw there are about 1000 other Qbs that don't do anything.
Penn State,Ohio State,Michigan,Michigan State, Purdue and Indiana did not think Ben Roethlisberger was good enough to be offered a scholarship so he had to go to Miami (Ohio).
HAIL TO PITT!!!
Some recruits peak in HS and others develop in college.
There was a big skinny kid who played football in Frewsberg NY.
No major university wanted to offer that big skinny kid a scholarship except for one school.
That one school felt he had potential and took a chance and he developed in college and had a steller college and NFL career.
That big skinny kid was Shane Conlan who was one of the best LB coming out of Penn State.
I think you remember him.
Recruiting is not an exact science.
HAIL TO PITT!!!!
You can keep grasping at straws and hoping you hit the recruit lottery all you want, so long as you keep leaving the highly-ranked recruits for the big boys
Pickett is a Rivals 3-star rated recruit so how can anyone say with certainty he will not develop and be good.
Rutgers has many Rivals 3-star recruits.
Are you grasping at straws.
Recruiting is not an exact science.
HAIL TO PITT!!!!
A. I'm not a Rutgers fan, just a lurker
B. You're right that recruiting is not an exact science but you're also in denial of you think rankings don't matter
Hope Kenny made the right choice for him and his family. I think this might have actually worked out pretty good for Temple as they picked up a commitment from this kid on Saturday.

Glad Kenny committed to Pitt and hope it works out well for Todd at Temple.
Fine young men and time will tell how well they perform at their respective schools.

It not an exact science but it been proven time and time again that kids who are highly recruited have a far higher probability of producing. If the pay outs are the same at a race track are you going to bet on the long shot or the favorite?
