I follow the dude, so I remember seeing the tweet and cringing a bit; but, good lord, what have we become where we as (mostly - I imagine there are some kids here) adults are so worried about what another adult writes on flufffin twitter. He'll come here or he won't, I don't think any of us pro or con will change that (somewhat narcissistic to think so) and if one slightly negative comment (not really that negative, just saying let's sign another very talented player) is going to sway someone, how is dude going to perform when the chips are down, I'll throw another sports cliche out there: if someone needs constant adulation, you want that guy holding the canteen. I'm not saying that is Winston, by the way, just that some people tend to paint all recruits with such an ass-kissing brush.
Time for us to get over ourselves - we're bystanders; it's people that think they affect this stuff that have a propensity to poison trees and give envelopes.

Neal Nieves - who covers BBall for Rivals / also Coast-to-Coast recruting was saying good things about January. We know January would sign with SDSU right now if we offered so I asked him if we should just sign January or wait for Shepard. I think we should wait and he agreed. Which I take as a sign that he thinks Shepard will come to SDSU.

If it's between us and New Mexico, I just can't see how he would choose them over us. My biggest concern is a big name school making him an offer.

I don't think these tweets affect the ultimate decision. However, dropping an F-bomb on a recruit is over the line and does not represent the Aztec fan base well. It is incumbent on the rest of us to reel that type of behavior in so it doesn't end up become a poisoning of a tree situation.

the most important thing is that there is communication between our coaching staff and Shepard. SDSU fans should respect that Shepard has said from the start,he will make his decision during the Spring signing time (starts in April). Would hope if he changes his mind he will let the staff know. Is interesting that the two "big Schools" after him have coaches who have health issues.Also Merger West Conference looks like they will lose best team in the Conference USA- Memphis. to the BE
