No shoulda, coulda, or woulda for either of us
Congratulations. You made the right decision because that is the decision you made. We would have loved to have seen you line up against UT in that Scarlet jersey with those Silver Bullet pants but now, we'll both move on. Good luck to you. This was probably the most difficult decision you've had to make. It is entirely up to you to now make the best of it without regret and without ever looking back and wondering "what if".

I don't know what is so wrong about wishing Jason good luck and best wishes. I did the same for Fred Davis - good luck and best wishes. Now, after this class is finished and the rosters are finalized, I will know who to cheer for. This isn't rocket science.

I also don't think that Gwaltney played this one straight.
He was so torn, but based on what nevadabuck has said the Ohio State staff thought the kid was coming to Ohio State. The USC staff thought he was coming to USC. There must have been a reason that both staffs thought that they had the kid.
This kid is now a big fish in a little pond and I have a feeling that that's the attraction to WVU. He is a high profile kid at a low profile school. He immediately becomes the big man on campus which he wouldn't be at Ohio State or USC.
He is going to play in games against East Carolina and Wofford and Ohio State is going to play Texas and Michigan (and hopefully USC).
Oh well. Or should I say OH WELLLLLSSSSS!!! (Maurice, that is!!)

Maybe lesser exposure at WVU will ultimately help the kid. Can you imagine the national attention that he would get if he achieves success early at OSU? Could he handle that? Ultimately, both USC and OSU has to realize that he's not on their roster and just move on. |

Apparently the desire to play in big games was all a front.
Sorry you chose WVU, Gwaltney. Good luck.

This happens a lot to these kids. They are truly torn between schools and coaches and have a really difficult time telling schools no so it looks like they are not being completely honest and playing games when actually they are just having a killer time making one of the toughest decisions of their young lives...

Okay, I think that we've all had plenty of time to speak our peace on Mr. Gwaltney, so I'm closing this thread for the moment. If you'd like to continue discussing this topic, then try the thread in the Open Discussion forum. Let's concentrate on the future Buckeyes for the next day or so....
