I met the individual in question a couple years ago at a Miss America pageant. Very impressive. Ivy undergraduate and law degrees. Ran for governor as a Democrat, then ran for governor as a Republican. That might say something about our two parties, or more about her drive and determination. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Preston Otter is not going to Brown Author: Grin and Bear it (Preston Otter) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:55:32 02/12/25 Wed I am not sure why Preston Otter committed to Brown back in July and was still gung-ho in December. Then he changed his mind in January. Unless there was some extenuating circumstances, young Mr. Otter showed no class and no integrity. SDSU may be on a higher plateau than the ivy league, but I am old school and when you give your word, you give your word. What a jerk, good riddance! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:37:14 02/13/25 Thu It happens all the time for various reasons, wanting to be closer to family, financial, etc. It may have been due to academics, in which case calling him a jerk is uncalled for.

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Preston Otter is not going to Brown Author: Grin and Bear it (Ed S.) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:44:09 02/13/25 Thu He is graduating from Phillips Exeter, and I believe he was also the valedictorian of his high school class. So academics was not the issue. Furthermore, I qualified what I was saying before actually saying it. So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he certainly acted like a jerk. When you renege on your commitment, you put the accepting university in a bad place because now they don't have one of the QBs they recruited. Where will they get a quality one at this late date? And yes, it does happen all the time, but that doesn't make it right. I am sure that there are many players who after they commit, get better offers, but stay with the initial commit. In life, integrity is worth more than just about anything else. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Preston Otter is not going to Brown Author: Brownie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:16:08 02/13/25 Thu Maybe he had second thoughts about Perry's future after he replaced both his coordinators. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Preston Otter is not going to Brown Author: Grin and Bear it (2nd Thoughts wh shav) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:52:51 02/13/25 Thu I think I was too quick to judge Mr. Otter. There could have been several good reasons for the flip. Primary among them could have been cost. Brown costs $90,000 per year. If Mr. Otter's parents make a substantial income, his financial aid may have been limited. In this event, the parents may have wound up paying $40,000 - $50,000 out of pocket a year. If he is on full scholarship at SDSU, then it would have been tough for him to let his parents pay so much when he could obtain a free college education. Other reasons could have included the release of the offensive and defensive coordinators, and I also believe the QB coach, Mrs. Marini, has moved on although nothing has been said about it. My apologies to Mr. Otter for being so rash. I hope he had a good reason, and I hope he reaches his potential at SDSU. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
