Best of luck to the kid, hope everything works out for him.

Mary would have been proud of you. Your eulogy was also very good, and as I believe you said at the time, it was her words.

I don’t blame this kid for backing out on his commitment. However I do think there are problems in paradise. This de commitment, daniels out for a semester, the tight end declaring for the draft while only projected to be a second round pick at best, atkinson leaving and more. it does make me wonder if Kelly has control of his team and if he is really liked. I get the sense has some major issues. This is the second off season full of mostly negative news and we are coming off a season where we played down to our competition. While I don’t think one kid changing his mind for sound reasons is an issue it seems to me that the majority of news that has been coming from the program is on a sour note

In 1969, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. In about 1975 my dad had an offer that would have taken us all (a very south-side embedded family with scores of extended relations within a range of one block to a couple of miles) to Georgetown, KY, with a raise and company car. She was mad at him for not taking it…but you know why he stayed in Chicago. She was surrounded by family for all 14 years of cycles of treatment, remission, and relapse, until she ended her marathon in 1983.

You assessment of this young guy’s decision and what weighed on it cuts to the heart of the matter, and exemplifies the approach that should be taken with most of this young recruits.

Three months latet she was in heaven. This kid is definately the right king of guy.
