One week after he committed, he flipped and sign with BYU...Are you kidding?

Disappointing, but I certainly wish him the best at BYU.

He made a mistake by committing before he was really ready to do so. He's not the first, won't be the last. But at least it only lasted a week, so it's not like it has hurt OSU's recruiting at all with other frontcourt players. He could have waited until the official signing day and made the switch then. Or even worse, he could have stuck to the committment, come to OSU for a year, been unhappy, and then transferred out. Those would hurt OSU way worse than this.
I don't see any ill will or snarky bitterness towards Lonnie Johnson, so I don't know why there should be any for this kid.

I don't think either are major losses. Johnson seems to have the scent of addition by subtraction. While with Payton, was number 4 or 5 on OSU's Center list, and we wouldn't see him for two years. Hard to get excited about that. I think Thad will recruit someone better, even though not likely in this class... but it won't affect it anyways.

Man, really weird to commit to one place and sign somewhere else a week later. I wonder if Payton is the kind of dude that goes to the movies, sees the previews and is disappointed and goes home. Really don't know what he was expecting after he committed, but it seems like he didn't get whatever feeling he felt he should have gotten. I don't know how he pictured things going in his mind after he committed to OSU, but clearly he didn't have the right expectation.
I don't really mind that he's not coming to OSU, as there is plenty of time for OSU to find another quality big for 2016, but this is one of the odder recruiting swings that I've seen, to commit to a school publicly then sign somewhere else less than a week later. Bizarre.

I was about to post that I would be shocked if he doesn't end up going to BYU...almost no Mormon commits elsewhere stick, especially after their mission. Not really too disappointed though.

I would imagine that your time in Idaho has given you a few experiences to form that opinion RB07. Poster's here not familiar with the LDS church could not imagine, but I would expect that the Dastrup family was under tremendous pressure from the those forces from the minute he committed to OSU. The fact that he wasn't able to honor his verbal to OSU isn't an Anzalone event in my eyes. He probably virtually had no choice.

That's basically what I meant and in regards to recruiting, not my personal experience. There are numerous instances where an LDS kid committed to another school and then magically, they end up at BYU before it is all said and done (whether they change their minds before or after the mission).
