That is the same way I took his quote.
JG is not going to let anyone know for sure where he is going, untill he announces.

*edit* that last sentence seems kind of obvious.
What I meant was, he is not going to give anything away in any interview.

Nothing new...he says he never was really interested in BC. At the end he says he is trying to get Cushing to go wherever he goes.

Rivals Premium

Same ol' stuff...he is down to USC and OSU. USC is appealing because of the recruiting class and the fact they are always a contender. OSU is appealing because they are poised for big things next year and he could probably play earlier.

A very interesting snipit. Isn't Cushing all but sealed as a Trojan??? Why would JG have to convince him to go with him if their leading schools are the same... things that make you go HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

On a side note... is there a way to fast forward to February 2nd??? I am getting tired of all these games and want this over already!!!

Cushing's dad wants him to go to ND....Mom SC....which makes me wonder.....Cushing just committed to SC though, which makes you wonder why JG is now saying no BC...

Just stop...

[wadc45]

stripes -

thanks as always for the input...what's your take on this?

http://pennstate.scout.com/2/343534.html

for those that can't see, Bob Lichtenfels talks about Cusing not having a great experience being so far away from home while in San Antonio...

[wstripes]

He's SC's to lose........he was sold on SC on his visit..as was his mom.....It should be a fun 2 weeks...things always change, as you guys are well aware of

[wadc45]

mom usually wins out...should be fun to see what happens.

sorry for hijacking the Gwaltney thread, but since he mentioned Cushing in his last update I thought it was relevant...

I think my head is going to explode!

[tsteele316]

let's delve deeper into the plot. Gwaltny now says he is only going to consider usc and osu, but he is still going to wait to announce on 2/1 even though he's not considering BC.

So, by saying such, he is implying that he already knows where he is going to go, but he is still going to wait until after caroll's in-home visit. if he was going to commit to usc, why does he have to wait for this?

or, he just wants to build the drama and everything above is pointless.

We're just warming up, baby! You gotta love this time. After Feb 2, everything slows down too much.

Since when did Cushing committ to USC?

wstripes: BC is right...I looked on both Rivals and TheInsiders and they don't have him listed as a commit to anywhere.

[ohiobuck94]

looks promising

From BSB:

With all of his official visits complete, Gwaltney reflects on what he sees as the perfect situation for him.

Gwaltney said the perfect school would have great weather, isn't loaded at running back, has great coaches and is in the middle of the country," said Gwaltney. "That's basically it; that's the perfect school for me.

he said the problem is, you're not going to find any warm weather schools in the middle of the country with a laugh.

Gwaltney hints that USC may be too far away for him to go to school. He also talked about some of the aspects in staying close to home.

Gwaltney said the major thing is trouble. "When you stay close to home, you tend to come back and do the same things you did when you were in high school. A lot of people's opinions of you change when you're successful, and that's not good – you don't want to be around that."
