NEWS: 2027 pledge Sonny Amato announces decommitment

[dtripp26]

4th place (with a trophy) at the National Tournament, not to mention 24 National Championships is a **** show now?

 

[bnicolls]

Bob, I was under the impression and I thought this was widely known that Beth was the one who ultimately made the call on blocking AJ (much like UNC AD did too) and if she didn't Tom would have put him in the lineup?

Is that not accurate?

Not getting into the details. However, there was one time, and it did not work out for whatever reason. There was not multiple times

I was watching Hard Knocks with the Seahawks last night. Was kind of amazed at the end when they brought in a Terrion Arnold who had just been cut by Detroit because he has been charged with multiple counts of armed robbery and kidnapping. Arnold was Detroit's 1st round pick in 2024 but has been inconsistent on the field plus his off the field issues. All this to maybe shore up their defensive backfield. Funny thing, it wasn't Arnold's only visit.

Seattle just won the Super Bowl and they are willing to entertain bringing a guy like this on; such is the pressure of winning.

Hell, that’s Andy Reid’s annual MO. Good ole’ Big Red has never met a felon he wouldn’t sign if he can ball.

Extends to hiring his criminal failsons as well.

If Reid didn’t win big and look like a jolly and cuddly Sea Captain, he'd get way more stick.

The only time Amato came to train he stole merchandise from the facility and another wrestlers belongings, got caught, and continued to try to lie about it. I think the bait was pretty much cut there as he was deemed a bad fit…. They gave him other opportunities to prove himself that he didn’t seem interested in. This was a surprise to no one, including the Amato family, which makes them playing the victim laughable.

Sure hope you know this for a fact and aren't just slandering a high school kid to protect the staff.

It'd be libel. Not slander. Gobblin directly addressing it probably means there's fire there.

 

[Tiltman]

Are you questioning Tom's judgment in these situations???

I would never do such a thing.

For sure. Not something you would just make up. Someone posted the same thing a couple days ago too. Most people aren't like Patty Cakes and just make **** up to fit their narrative. Not something you would accuse someone of doing unless you were certain it happened.

So, you're saying yes, that one time, Tom desperately wanted a sexual assaulting, nearly fatal crash causing, teammate attacking, parents' section bird flipping BPD sociopath in the worst way possible and it was Beth who had the integrity to put a stop to it. But, to be clear, only one time. Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up.

If nothing else, some of you guys give me a good chuckle every day.

HMMMM. I don't think I typed that, maybe I did, but I don't think so

Embarrassing.

A little more effort on this one but still pretty weak

Seems like it was dealt with quite a bit quicker than the Sandusky/Paterno PSU standard. Just sayin'.

You PSU folks might want to sit this type of thing out.

Sandusky will die in jail where he belongs. I don't know what more you want at this point.

I think point is it was more than once and if one time….one time to many based on factual history/track record.

How about you PSU d'bags post anywhere but here.......for starters. Simple.

I'll give you your opinion, which of course comes after the fact.

No worries. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. And you were only 1 hour and 46 minutes behind! If you were watching Braveheart, you would barely be halfway through!

Having a nephew that just finished up D1 baseball, I’ll just say a 250+ thread on an incoming high school senior de-committing is a ridiculous overreaction. If the fit doesn’t feel right for either side, they walk. Even more so for a recruit. No reason to drag either side through the mud. I’ll also say TnT can stop all the scrutiny on how they run their program by winning NCAA titles again.

Tbf. There is only about 25 to 30 posts regarding the decommitment. The rest of the posts are people slinging insults back and forth.

Maybe not multiple times but multiple problem Ferraris. Anthony was no saint either and his baggage was being looked past as well.
I think everyone agrees making the Amato narrative a decision based solely on character is a bad look. Not that you're necessarily doing so, I thought your earlier post addressing it was well said.

Or maybe just smoke and mirrors to get a commitment from Angelo. And as it stands Iowa didn’t accept the other two and they’ve created problems elsewhere
