He did decommit from OSU.

so he dropped aOSU completely? wow

penn st or nd

Must be more to it than what is being reported

he hashtagged OSU to let everyone know where he decommitted from. Either way, more than a few OSU fans have said he supposedly dropped them all together.

I really want this kid to be a Trojan but looks like we already got Sua and Hutchings on board. I just trust the coaches if they want him.

Hey, at least he wasn't inside the aOSU library yanking it while he was in communication, right?

This guy had 0 access he kept catching recruits in public places,,,, twitter is one heeluva drug.

No he isnt coming back... it would take a miracle so it is real. He's just a kid so this could have freaked him out and I know when it came out his parents started having reservations... the de-commits arent what bother me... this guy was using twitter to run into these kids... he ran into two of our players at Chipotle and had lunch with them..luckily they paid for their own food ..if he was actively recruiting the NCAA could come sniffing again...

ahh, my mistake

"There's a disconnect between what Alex thought was was there (at Ohio State) and what is actually there," said his father, Dr. Sal Anzalone.

Anzalone and his father spoke to Ohio State assistant coach Luke Fickell Friday afternoon to express their concerns and to de-commit.

"Something's just not right at Ohio State," Sal Anzalone said. "It's not for him."

quote:
"I had to make a decision that's best for me, and for my family," Anzalone said. "There's a reason behind it. I don't want to get into it; I don't want to hurt anyone.

"We've been talking about it for a week or so with my family. I need to re-evaluate things right now, slow everything down."

quote:
Sal Anzalone said that his son had expressed his concerns that "something wasn't right" about his visit shortly after returning from Ohio last month.

The family spent the past several days privately discussing the issue, but the tipping point, Sal Anzalone said, was the photograph that appeared on the Internet.

It made him believe his son was at risk during his recruiting visit, and he became disenchanted with the Buckeyes coaching staff because of the episode.

"You don't want your son to go to a place where there's a potential issue (like this)," Sal Anzalone said. "You expect the (football) staff to have some sort of control on how things are handled with recruits when they visit. This is ridiculous.

"I was concerned with what recruits do, and with them being allowed to visit these kind of places where it puts kids at risk. That's the issue. You entrust people (at the school) to do the right thing."

While he said he doesn't believe the Buckeyes coaching staff was aware that a sexual predator had access to its recruits and players, Sal Anzalone said he is upset at what transpired.

"Of course," he said. "Who wouldn't be? I'm outraged."

Chalk another win for that super vigilant compliance office at OSU

I had the exact same reaction.

He's from PA, so there's a lot of hometown pressure for PSU.

But, being from PA, he's also been watching the whole Sandusky scandal unfold up close.

I had thought he would go to PSU prior to his OSU commitment, b/c he had been there so many times, but this creepy experience may well scare him off of both PSU and OSU.
