Wiltfong trying to keep the drama alive


Dec 18, 2019, 8:37 AM

About Burch on 247 with a positive post in the signing day thread. I'll believe it when I see it.

wow a positive post


Dec 18, 2019, 8:40 AM

whatever that means for someone with no connections to any team ;)

What did he say or do you have a link?

He dropped in the signing day thread to say "Hearing Burch has still been positive with Clemson.“

Not exactly world changing but still interesting.

WIltfong doesn't play games like that

Plus Burch is announcing on ESPNU so it doesn’t benefit him to get more eyeballs on that announcement.

But I also don’t think that’s anything earth shattering.

What it seems like to me is that Burch, even very recently, had no idea where his final decision would land.

This seems like a kid who has not knowingly held his commitment, but it seems more like he really may have been torn until the last minute.

If multiple teams still feel good then the recruit is either playing the losers or he truly wants to keep his options open. Wiltfong's statement would seem to tilt toward the latter.

Agreed

As a 17-18 year old kid with people in your ear coming from all sides, trying to make the decision that’s best for you and your family (when those might not be the same) and basically the entire CFB internet trying to decipher your every move has to be tremendous pressure.

It seems that he’s either still wrestling with his decision, or he doesn’t want to let anyone down which could be why he’s positive with all the staffs involved.

I mentioned yesterday that he seems like a kid who really doesn't want to tell anybody "no".

The simple fact that Dabo's presser is at 1pm and Burch doesn't announce until 2:30 makes me think Dabo already knows where he isn't going...

Supposedly the practice schedule and press release for us were set and announced a couple of weeks ago. The commitment announcement was recently decided by ESPN last. Or at least that's what I've read somewhere.

Didn't Dabo get notified on the podium a couple of years ago that a 5 star committed? Might have been Carman but i seem to remember something like that happening.

Excellent point I had forgotten about that
