Other options have already been made a priority. This one is over.

Some say that there is innocence in youth, others say there is ignorance.
I am sure that the differences between the Fellows situation and what Givens did are completely lost on you, which may be a result of your youth.

Hopefully Penn State develops Givens as well as they developed Justin King. Best of luck to him.

He is done on the board. There are many many schools that use the "early PT" gauge to evaluate a kid's heart...as soon as Darrell said he thought he could get on the field quicker in Happy Valley, he was done as a Buckeye.
Two things you absolutely cannot coach: heart and swagger.

Wasn't that an Archie Griffin quote? Oh well, good luck to Mr. Givens at PSU. I hope he gets his early PT because that probably means they're thin at CB.

Well said.....in that case I am sold.....I'd rather have the next DBs on the board than him. Good luck to you Mr. Givens at PSU. |

Hey, no need to fuel a fire...
good luck to Mr. Givens, Penn State is a fine program and ads much to the strength of the Big 10. I hope you find what you seek there.
Good luck on all game days except the ones when you face the Buckeyes.

Give me a DB class of Wood, McGee, Emilien, Barnett and either Hunter or Banks and I am ecstatic...no sour grapes here at all, but Givens is the one kid that was committed so far that I could have parted with. Any time you get a shotgun commitment like that, it's probably a good idea to temper your expectations as to whether or not that commitment is going to stick all the way to NLOID.
