Good news, bad news day. We keep Jawon Pass, but lose Burns to OSU. That was pretty expected after they offered, then he visited. I believe he had said OSU was his dream school.

How many times have I heard that OSU was their dream school only too go up there and find out it is a bad dream they have walked into. I think he has made a huge mistake that will dearly cost him and when he finally realizes it I hope CBP doesn't open the door for him and let him come back.
Not me good riddens. He'll be recruited over by then. He had his shot and if OSU is his dream well ride it to the end even if it turns into a nightmare. Not my concern as a Cards fan.I'm sure you'll be saying that if he were to decide to transfer to UofL down the line
Wakefield is a good prospect, but hardly a position we should cry over.He'll be a Practice Squad Player at tOSU for MOST of his time there...I'd be more PI$$ED if we lost Wakefield!!!
The reality of life is a hard sell vs. the dreams of an 18 y/o.look at the players who stayed home and played and how they end up becoming local legends and basically have a job for life as someone in this town will always hire them if they have at least some education to them. you go away and no one cares if you succeed elsewhere. it's congrats to you but you didn't do it for the home team
Good Luck young man.Good news, bad news day. We keep Jawon Pass, but lose Burns to OSU. That was pretty expected after they offered, then he visited. I believe he had said OSU was his dream school.
Good Luck young man.
Hope the young man does good on to the next one to signI love the local kids staying home, but I can't blame a kid wanting to get away either.
it's been said somewhere before and my apologies but has there ever been a player from here to go to OSU and actually play and do something positive? last washout was whiting wasn't it? his name only came up because he was part of the tattoo scandal i think. never played
Do you mean Jimmy Ellis?Jeff Ellis, who graduated from Male in the late 80's early 90's. He did rather well at OSU. He's also is the son of the former Louisville great boxer Rudy Ellis.

The tight end kid years years ago i think he played at male. had a good career their at OSUit's been said somewhere before and my apologies but has there ever been a player from here to go to OSU and actually play and do something positive? last washout was whiting wasn't it? his name only came up because he was part of the tattoo scandal i think. never played
Why is there this assumption that if he goes to Ohio State he will be recruited over, won't pan out, will get lost in the shuffle? If he was good enough for UofL, then he is probably good enough to get playing time at OSU. I don't think the separation between UofL and OSU is that great. If it is, then that is a real problem for us if we want to compete for national championships.
He's a kid, don't hold a grudge because he wants to see if he can play for one of the blue bloods.No, I won't welcome Burns back if it doesn't work out for him at OSU like I said I think he made a huge mistake. He could have played for a coach who has taken care of kids from Trinity instead he will go and get lost in the crowd. I hope he does well in his college career but he sure made it hard on himself and as far as I am concerned he no longer exist.
I've seen them play. Physically, Burns is by far the better college prospect, if only because of the size difference, 6'2" to 5'9". The speed is similar. It's a shame UL is not yet a dream school for local kids. I do believe he'll find the depth chart more crowded at OSU even though he is quite capable of playing on both sides of the ball.He'll be a Practice Squad Player at tOSU for MOST of his time there...I'd be more PI$$ED if we lost Wakefield!!!

I don't think anyone is bitter I think the better word is disappointed. The fact is I am a Louisville fan and if Burns ends up being a OSU player and then comes back to Louisville after school is over looking for a job I wouldn't hire him. I would hire a Louisville graduate with the same credentials and I think that is something Jordan Whiting experienced. I know it used to be that most college grads got a job within 50 miles of the school they graduated from.
Per Jody Demling, 3 Louisville coaches were supposed to have an in home visit with Burns today.
I think it is funny that you think someone sounds bitter for being loyal to their local University.
