Penn State Scandal Impacts High School Recruits

GREER, S.C.-- The Penn State fallout is having a trickle-down effect on high school football recruiting. Adam Ah Ching, a senior linebacker at Greer High School, told WYFF News 4’s Kim Quintero that he’s played football since he was 6 and has his sights set on playing college ball. “When you're Polynesian, growing up, football is No. 1 in your life,” said Ah Ching. Ranked last year by ESPNU as the 26th linebacker prospect in the country, Ah Ching said he was paid a visit by Penn State's former assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky. “He came to my last spring game going into my senior season. He liked how I moved, laterally, and how gifted I am,” said Ah Ching.

I’ve been sayin’ this all along ...

The current PSU recruiting class may reconsider their choice and try to get out of it [if the NCAA lets them].

Also, players currently on the PSU team might want to transfer - but they should not be penalized [sitting out a year] for doing so.

The NCAA should give them an exemption - like what happened with the UTEP basketball team a few years ago ...

Can’t confirm Madden, but I just read the GJ report. It talked alot about him taking them to games and giving many gifts. Not a stretch to imagine other men taking some of these boys for their own purposes. Also, when reading about going to games, team dinners, staying at his home, exercising with them as many times as stated; surely that had to raise a red flag or 2 with someone. That just ain’t right.

Did you read the article? This kid says Sandusky was recruiting him in the spring of 2011. Penn State didn’t comment.

Fine, let them investigate it. If it’s true, death penalty. Other schools have gotten it for far less than this. And those schools didn’t have the option of shitcanning everyone and starting fresh without penalty.

No, giving Penn State a 3 year football suspension is not "shooting the messenger with bad news." The football program was not the messenger...it was enabling the criminal. It's where he brought the kids.

The 3 years would be the message and it would be to Penn State in the hopes that the "light bulbs" would not just come on, but that they would remain lit from now on when it comes to this type of travesty.

They’re all culpable! KILL THEM ALL!

And now we know... why McQueary hesitated to call the police. After all, there is a DA who has been missing since 2005. There was some deep, evil juju going on in that institution.

This kind of a mess happened in the Texas state run orphanage system decades ago.

Do not be surprised if it turns out to have been a good sized group of people by the time it all shakes out.

Think of what’s going to happen to enrollment, recruiting, donations from alumni... May as well start printing up the t-shirts for “Penn State Community College”.

From his posts on other Penn State scandal.threads, one may safely assume he never reads any articles. He just shows up and insists anyone who wants all of these people fired by the university and investigated and prosecuted by the justice system are really a lynch mob clamoring to hang the entire student body from the trees on campus.

Football is likely his god, and we are all infidels because we elevate children above a little ball large men throw around in a chalked off pasture.

Yea right Jeff.

Your going to Penn State so you are going to get penalized. For what? Don't worry, your going to Penn State so your guilty.

Oh, you just got here? Sorry, your guilty. Three years from Jeff.

Three years sounds right. Hey, make it 10.

“Light bulbs with them are just now being lit with education and involvement. They are the future of our country and I believe in them.”

Young skulls full of mush being indoctrinated with Marxist ideology is the future of our country? God help us.

"Of course we're going to riot," Paul Howard, a 24 year-old aerospace engineering student at Penn State University, told The New York Times. "What do they expect when they tell us at 10 o'clock that they fired our football coach?"

God help us, indeed.

Can NOT disagree with that.

I don't know about anyone else, but when I got a real job after getting out of college, I learned more in 1-3 years on the job that I learned in college.

BTW, They put McCreary on administrative leave because he was going to coach, at the request of the players, tomorrow.

Obama on the carrier Carl Vincent just now makes me want to ............(you fill it in). Troops on the ship just have to shut up. Disgusting.

That’s why I posted the article.

Still recruiting? That’s a much different story than we’ve heard.
