What are you gonna do? This is a high-profile recruit being pursued by top-level programs covered by multiple recruiting outlets. This stuff almost always leaks.

Also, it’s recruiting, not international espionage.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Leaked by tOSU, imo.

Could have been anyone. And it would certainly leak once he was at the game.

Problem is leaks like this can irk recruits and possibly cause them to cancel the visit. Hopefully that doesn’t happen.

Than he wasn't serious. If he arrives, we're in it to win it.

This is the biggest game we’ve had since the SEC Championship in 2007. The idea that 5-star Carnell Tate would be able to visit incognito strains credulity.

 

[tn88volfan]

not one of a 110,000 people and millions on tv would have noticed

Yup. Plus if he cancels because it got leaked, he’s clearly the type of person that’s a head case. Gotta do what beats for you Carnell. Don’t worry about upsetting coaches you aren’t playing for yet.

Why is he clearly a head case?

 

[NighthawkVol]

Why is he clearly a head case?

And why do we care that this was leaked?

 

[UTK]

Why is he clearly a head case?

Any little thing will get him to over react to situations if he cancels a visit based on it being leaked.

 

[UT = Checkmate]

Why would we leak it.

 

[UT = Checkmate]

We have lost 1 visitor already. The fsu guy.

 

[NoogaVol96]

Maybe, maybe not. . .

~AP

50/50.
That’ll be $9.99

He's never been serious. I'd bet he just likes the attention.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Eh maybe. But an unofficial visit? That’s on his dime. I think there is some smoke here.

If he cancels over that, he's not much interested in the first place

The issue with a leak is that the current team he's committed to has a chance to work on preventing the visit. Especially if the recruit was trying to keep things quiet before the visit.

 

[SugarCC]

Eh maybe. But an unofficial visit? That’s on his dime. I think there is some smoke here.

If it leaking keeps him from visiting, he was looking for any reason not to, imo. Did he think he was going to be able to sneak in on a visit, during the biggest weekend in 20 years, and no one was going to notice?

I think, maybe, the reason @KingNico said that, is because it gives OSU the rest of the week to talk him out of it. I could be wrong, though.

 

[Orange.]

The pressure OSU is about to apply (if they didn't previously know) won't be "any little thing!" If he were first spotted by fans at the game it would have been too late to change his trip.

....
Also, it’s ... not international espionage.

Clearly it's domestic.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Yes, we want an algebraic equation of how you came to the conclusion of 2 + 2.

Four. It's four, y'all.

Either come or not. If you 2nd guessing your commitment, then decommit. Idk why people think you can visit during a HUGE recruiting weekend and think you wont be detected.
