Daniel Gresham dumped by Bobby Petrino

Cracks me up when people think that 17-18 yos always make the brightest decisions.
It's not about making the brightest decisions. It's about realizing you are making decisions that will affect the rest of your life. The gift Gresham has been given is that he gets to realize that soon after making the decision. A lot of us don't realize we have made the wrong decision until a decade or two later. I wish him the best. I also wish that in the future kids look at him as an example as to what happens when you commit before you really commit.

Sometimes you are pressured to commit. Hell sometimes you commit cause you want it just in case something falls through. Like you said he's making a decision that affects rest of his life. So why not be wishy washy

 
Oh, I agree and consequences is part of life. It is more when I see people condemning a kid because of it. To be honest I did not really see people on this thread, just on some of the other sites. I was speaking more in general. Just did not word it well.

 
It's tough a lot of times these young men are pressured into committing before they are ready. They may have a real interest in a school, but aren't ready to commit, but the coaching staff will tell him we need your answer we are only taking "X" number of your position, and we already have a commitment from "X" number of guys.

 
I getting close to 40 and my wife keeps waiting for me to grow up.
Esch....

I'll be 73 in a couple of months and my wife is waiting for me to grow up too....I know how you feel...

 
So is this kid worth another look? I was 17 once and couldn't figure out who to marry. They're young men preparing to marry a school for 4 or 5 years. It's an eternity to them and they want to be as sure as they can. Heck, I picked the same college my best friend did. Great reason huh?

I don't mind kids looking around, you need to make the best decision for urself. Don't commit until ur sure but they are teens.

I just don't think either are that talented. I'm not saying they arnt good, i feel we can get better talent here, this year. If CS thinks they are worthy of an offer, sure. I just don't see it on film but kids develop after a few yrs.

 
He is worth the look yes, but he'll likely end up committing elsewhere, such as Miami.

 
I think the other consideration is if we will be running an O that utilizes a true FB.

I'd say that's the overriding factor

Cracks me up when people think 17-18 year olds should not know what "commitment" means.
