Have not read or heard a thing about any of the "superstars" from the class of 2011 playing at the next level. After all of the hype over the past four years, what turned out to be the reality?

Congrats to all these fine athletes and best of luck at the next level!! :clap:
No knock on Wittenberg, but they don't give out athletic schollys, and most of the other schools on this list don't either. Still a nice accomplishment.Thanks for the update Knock-em-out. What a shame to see all of those D1 looks and offers go to waste for the over hyped.
FYI. Think there were a couple more lacrosse players that got scholarships. I believe Ian Hammerin is going to play at Whittenburg, Lucky and possibly Alex Ingen or Hust are playing at the next level as well.
Like you, congrats to all these deserving athletes.
P.S. Also heard that Fulchers grades might be an issue at OU.

For football:
Unless something has changed in the last 3 weeks - 3 seniors were offered full rides to play at the next level (1 decided on lacrosse). 2 seniors had multiple offers (including PWO and scholarships) to play D1 - including Big East and ACC schools. 4 players are planning to go DIII, and 2 are planning to go DI walkon. 2 seniors are still weighing their options.
Bet I can guess who at least one of the players wasmwho received the "offers" from the Big East and ACC schools. Did not see that kidsmname on any offer lists for any ofmthose schools nor any recruiting sites.
How come you always throw out the "several offers" for players but never name the player or the school? This is not classified information. Seems to me that the players who are "weighing their options"better hurry up and make up their mind, practice will be starting soon. Btw, my translation for "weighing their options" means still trying to find a program that is interested. Maybe for Fulcher, he is still trying to qualify academically
Then you know. It was published and listed in several places including the graduation program. Unless something changed Fulcher has the academics. Weighing options means weighing options, the translation is that there are multiple schools interested and each has made an offer. There are multiple aspects to consider including the
I've seen who has offered Fulcher. Haven't seen any offers listed on Rivals or any other listing. Wasn't at graduation, so why don't you enlighten me. Tell me who the offers are coming from.

Hey bigfan your waisting your time!
The "graduation program" and "weighing options" routine/excuse is just a last ditch attempt to keep the hype machine running. Just like all the many other "truth stretching" comments we've heard, about the same players over and over for the last 4 years. Any one can claim or say whatever they want (nothing is ever truly verified).The hype machine is about to run out of gas though. It's ironic that all the players that have been "offered full rides to play at the next level" (referring to D1 scholies) are either playing another sport or are "weighing options". ::laugh:
The reality is in about another 6 months we'll see who's really actually playing football and performing and who's not. Fairy tail days are about over for the "over hyped" boys!! ::laugh:
Not one player from the 2011 class will be playing D1 football on a full ride scholly even with the "hype machine in full throttle". The real accomplishments will be for the football players that were given very little or no recognition at Mason who will be playing and performing in College the next four years without even boarding the "hype machine". :thumb:
I'm sure we can count on a very valid excuse why they're not playing and or performing at the next level. Can't wait to read about it soon! :shrug:
Read in the Pulse Journal last week that Fulcher is "waiting to hear" from Ohio University. I don't understand what that means, according to the Rivals web-site, they already offered him, what could they be waiting for? Grades? Can't be, according to SWMCINCI, grades were not a problem.
It also said that if OU doesn't work out, he will be going to some Community College in Kansas. That is a real shocker. If his grades are good enough to get into OU, why in the world would he go to some Community College in Kansas? Was there nothing offered between OU and Community College?:shrug:

Read this recent Pulse Journal Article dated June 28, 2011, about this years football team and in that article there was a comment about Fulcher.
I didn't quite understand it?
"Recent Mason graduate David Fulcher Jr. will continue his career at Ohio University." "Fulcher, a 5-11, 205-pound running back, will receive a scholarship for sure in January, and possibly as early as August."
Does that mean he can't play until next year or he might play this year?
What does that mean? Sounds odd to me!
And how about your son?He will be attending college at his own expense until January. He has the equivalent of a PWO for the fall. IF OU ends up with an extra scholarship (someone screws up admissions or doesn't qualify to play - he gets a scholarship this Fall). He could see the field but realistically he will compete for a starting position in the Spring.
And how about your son?
And how about your son?
Still has PWO's from Cincinnati, Bowling Green, and Duke. Has decided to attend Central Florida with another Mason alumnus and walk-on for the Knights. Met with the LB coach last month, while he will attend the Fall workouts, they want him to continue the rehab on his knee (blown ACL/Miniscus from wrestling) from his surgery in March. He will join the team next spring with the expectation of competing for a starting position.
I would guess the 7 linebackers UCF Signed in the class of 2011 who are all star rated by Rivals and there on full scholarships would expect to be competing for a starting position as well.

The ship sailed on those other PWO's long ago. Don't kid yourself or anybody else here.
This season will be much more enjoyable without cheer-hype dad on duty.
Sad that you try to act like you know what you are talking about.. Kerry coombs called less than a month ago to answer questions and make sure the kid was still enrolling and ready to play mid september... Guess that means it sailed long ago... At least swm knows the truth with his son....
Like always.. Ignoring facts because you werent privied to information... the fact that some of you get sohappy because kids make decisions that they want on their own, not bc everyone is telling them to do sonething tells me the majority of you don't have a clue why these kids do what they do.. For the record the kids we are talkin about is going into an academic program he wants that isn't offered at those other schools... He knows.. Realistically that EVERYONE needs a college degree.. And the one he wanted was at ucf and is as a matter of fact the top school for that major in the united states... Dont assume you understand things.. You truly are making yourself look like an outsider who has no idea what he is talking about...
Yeah we all know what we saw and heard for the last four years. It was nothing more than a select group of over-hyped, excessively marketed and underachieving handpicked "superstars" of the class of 2011. All these supposedly D1 offers for the "select" projected players by parents, coaches, and friends of these so called D1 players end up being nothing but hope and hype. It's not this kids fault he hasn't, can't and won't live up to all the hype his daddy spewed all over the place for the past four years though. :wallbang:
It's just a coincidence that none of the over-hyped boys have decided to except the sports schollies offered to them to play D1 football; Yeah RIGHT! We all know when it's all said and done all of these overrated superstars won't be playing football in College.
That's right, you'd have us all believe they all choose something else rather than start and play full time football for a D1 program. We also all know the real reason they won't be starting/playing is because the hype doesn't work anymore once you get out of High School. Now that it's time to actually perform, the truth will come out. They won't be able to live up to all the hype in College simply because they never lived up to it in High School.
Like abigfan wrote above, "We can re-visit this thread in a couple of years and see how the stud walk on performed." :Ohno:
It's my understanding that 4 of the 2011 seniors were offered D-1 opportunities for football.. and 1 will pursue that opportunity.. whenever his scholarship frees up, and 2 others decided to play lacrosse on scholarship..
Just because they choose a different sport, or in this kids case he chooses a school that didn't offer him a scholarship, for an academic opportunity (but sure offered him a great academic scholarship), doesn't, in the majority of the world mean the kid is a failure.. last i checked free or significantly cheaper school is the main reason many HS athletes work so hard at their sport.... not to mention their love for the game.
People take different paths to success everyday.. I don't know what you do, or what you gain from STILLLLLLLLL attempting to dog on kids who aren't around anymore, only educated guess would be they took your kids, or your spot on the varsity field.. but frankly the majority of people think all of the 2011 seniors were great kids both academically and athletically.. just let it go.. that's what adults do... please just move on...
Also to fix your list.. if you are adding Abe to the UCF walk on list you may want to add Erich Myers as both are in similar situations as far as I know..
