Waiting for the "He wasn't any good anyways" posts like 

 

I think KJ is a good talent but given our haul last class, we aren't in desperate need at his spot. Wish him the best but not a dagger to the program or morale. Hopefully he's the last from the metro going to Iowa City for awhile.

We’ll be just fine. Now if Fidone goes that way..different story. We can find more 3* WRs.

Not at all surprised here. Also, just more wood to stoke the fire come game day. Let's hope he has a fulfilling career in Iowa with a losing record against the home state uni, yes?

Not sure what you mean by that.  The post you replied to was saying he's a good talent.  It's just that this isn't going to kill the program that he went to Iowa.

 

I agree.  I would have loved to have had him at Nebraska.  But, it's not something that is going to make this class or the program a disaster that he wen to Iowa.

 

So...basically you are saying "there it is" to a post that didn't do what you're anticipating.

I mean is he wrong? 
 

The only one you could even really make a case for is Nixon who is a Duck-R guy. 

 

johnson better than Manning, Betts, Flemming, or Brown? Not at this point. We will find someone else to replace him and keep moving. Fidone is the only non-replaceable guy in the metro besides maybe Dickerson.

"He's not that good anyways" and "We didn't need him" are brothers from the same mother.

So, you're saying this is a disaster and we will never be able to replace him in this class.  And...he literally started his post with "He's a good talent".

He is completely replaceable. Did you think that Flemming, Brown, or Nixon were going to sign with N at this point? Nope. We will find a high quality replacement.

Well, my "jump to conclusion" is basically what your comments are coming across as.  

 

What is incorrect about the post you tried making this statement about?

It's really not, though. It's commentary on how, on almost every one of these threads (the local kids in particular) where a kid doesn't commit, we have a few recruiting geniuses that come in here espousing about how he either A. wasn't very good, or B. we didn't really want him. It's a tired and worn out trope that rears it's ugly head almost every time it happens, and it deserves to be called out.

The post you quoted did neither of these.

 

You're really trying hard to make a point that isn't there.
