Schutt gives his commitment

  • psu2013 said...

    Thanks everyone. Big big get for us. Just seemed like the kid was ready to get recruiting out of the way.

    4 star WR, 4 star DT, and soon to be a 4 star CB... Week couldnt be better, oh ya Noah Spence is visiting again this week. ahhhh

    Read somewhere that Schutt school takes football very serious and little time for recruiting visits during season. Schutt teamed with Zettel and Spence is going to be good set of players for PSU d-line. Wow didn't see Schutt commitment coming!

    Well he did grow up a PSU fan so its not like this came out of left field, but ya it was fast.

    To be honest, if he was such a big PSU fan, why was he ready to commit to ND just days ago, then he got his offer pulled when Day committed, then wanted to come to Michigan and the coaches told him no, then PSU came into the picture. Sorry, but I just don't buy that.

    I'm not knocking PSU for getting this commitment, but I really hope Schutt didn't rush into any decision with his commitment. His recruiting plan completely fell apart in the past week and this commitment seems extremely fast. I would have rather he did his due diligence to find the best school possible, regardless of whether it was PSU or not.

    My guess is he had 3 schools in mind. ND and Michigan were the clear leaders and he wanted to go to either of those, but Penn State was in the back of mind as a third option. Then when ND and UM told him no, he went and visited PSU and loved it. Then he decided to commit.

    We weren't in the running, he obviously loved ND and UM, but we were thought about.

    Never said they weren't, just said that I hope he didn't rush into a decision after his first two choices told him no.

    Never said they weren't, just didn't agree that PSU was his favorite school growing up. If they were, ND and Michigan would never have been in the picture.

    I'm pretty sure has been quoted as saying he grew up at Penn State fan. Obviously he wasn't a huge one and it didn't factor much into the recruitment at first, but he was a fan.

    Fair enough, that sounds more likely.

    Up until ND turned him down and he called UM to try to visit, he had not expressed any interest in Michigan whatsoever. That's part of why we turned him away, we had long since moved on from trying to recruit him and didn't want to possibly spook Pipkins and/or O'Brien (who we've been after much longer).

    I guess I should warn you, if I turn out to be particularly clear, you've probably misunderstood what I've said.

    Schutt wasn't very vocal about his recruitment. He probably always liked UM, but not as much as ND and was planning on going to ND so he didn't express much interest. Then when ND turned him down, he came out and was more vocal about his love for UM. I'm glad as hell you guys didn't want him though.

    On the rare few occasions when one of our guys would be able to get a hold of him, he stated flat out he wasn't interested in Michigan and had no plans to visit.

    No idea then man. Recruiting is crazy sometimes, these kids can change their mind in a second.

    Also Schutt has said that he will now focus on getting Spence to PSU!

  • Obviously psyched about the day that was for PSU recruiting, But I also want to say how great the 247 community is. This is not the reception to news like this that other sites' fans typically give to a rival school. But I guess if they don't go to Ohio State, we're all winners!

    You're welcome! Great additions this week, looking like another one on Friday. Glad we won't be facing Schutt, had he gone to UM he would have been playing like a man possessed. They already have Bolden, LB, who wasn't happy about not receiving an offer..Seeing how we helped you guys land Schutt can you give up on Jones??
