Comments on: Speed, Speed, Speed http://www.pittblather.com/2007/07/28/speed-speed-speed/ The rantings and commentary on Pitt football and basketball ... and anything else from a distracted mind Sat, 05 Jul 2008 15:31:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: geeman2001 http://www.pittblather.com/2007/07/28/speed-speed-speed/#comment-46817 geeman2001 Sun, 29 Jul 2007 16:25:31 +0000 http://www.pittblather.com/2007/07/28/speed-speed-speed/#comment-46817 Not sure college fans should cite Willie Parker as a good example ... he didn't do squat in college. Somehow, someway, Bill Cowher heard of him and made him a special project. To his credit he's done well. But his play in college didn't warrant the opportunity. As Antonio Bryant showed, your play can overcome your bad attitude, which apparently got WP in the doghouse in school. Steeler fans have a right to love him, but as far as UNC was concerned, he was a wasted scholarship. Not sure college fans should cite Willie Parker as a good example … he didn’t do squat in college.

Anyone remember a guy named wille parker? 5'10 runs a 4.3 in the 40? Nobody thought he was any good... How about a DB coming out of HS that was 5'11, 180 and ran a 4.3? Returns for the bears now, named Devin Hester? I'll take the word of a couple of football coaches that have seen this kid run a 4.4 over these pencil jockeys...

If this kid is only going to return punts and kickoffs...what's the point, don't we have guys that do that already? Shouldn't we have saved this scholarship for a better player. I like the kids attitude....but come on 1-2 star player at best...there has to be better athletes out there that Pitt can win over than this kid, no offense Ronald. Ok…why should i/we be excited?
