Question about Korey Foreman.
Dec 16, 2020, 8:22 AM
|
|
I understand his plan is to sign today, but keep that signing secret so he can announce on ESPNU on 1/2/21. He is also planning on enrolling in January, wherever he signs.
Is that right? If so, here is my question:
How does he think he can keep it secret? I understand that the Clemson coaches, assuming that is where he signs, will honor his wishes. You won't hear Dabo or Brent or any other coach be the one to break the news. But, way too many people will have to know. The old saying, "A secret is something you tell to one person at a time."
I find it virtually impossible that the word won't leak on either social media or some internet blogging site within a few days of his signing.
Can he keep his signing a "secret" until 1/2?

It all depends on him and his close circle. I have always lived by the creed that if more than 1 person knows about something it is not a secret.

I think he's under a lot of pressure from peers and his area, in general, to choose USC, especially with his HS being a major USC pipeline. So if it is USC, I could see one of his future teammates/friends tipping it somehow via social media. If we get complete radio silence, I think that'd point to Clemson.

agreed. It won't be the winning the school that leaks but

the other schools that will probably spill the beans that he didn't sign with them today bc they're frustrated with his decision. If i was him i would have just not told anyone other than the school on early signing day and just made the rest think i was holding out until the second signing period.
And i can assure that from this day forward every little recruiting junkie is going to be calling their contacts at each of his contenders and will probably easily get the scoop on yes he's signed or no we didn't hear from him.

Agree - CU is the only one that can keep it quiet

either way - if he signs somewhere else, we're not offering another DE so easy to just not say anything - pundits can't read anything into it. if he signs with CU - others probably going on the market looking for a DE so pundits will read the tea leafs. I suspect that the Crystal ball thingys will start showing up by Saturday - don't see how it will be kept quiet.

Foreman's butt. Either he's "all-in" or he's somewhere else. Why play hide-and-seek with a high school teenager?

He is signing his LOI to his school of choice today.
He has been asked to announce his decision during the Army All-American game timeslot.
He isn't leaving the schools hanging though.

It will get out....

if he doesn't sign with USC, then they'll let others know and try to blame it on Clemson that we can't keep it quite to push him back to us.
Don't understand waiting that long.

He wants the spotlight. He wants to announce it on national TV to a big audience during the All-Star game.

He's a teenager, Coot. Let him enjoy the moment. Many have done it before him and many will do it after him.

This is a terrible take.
The All-American game is likely asking kids to hold their decision until Jan 2 so they can still get some TV time because the game isn't being played.
Foreman is going to sign his name and do it without headline today and then wait to announce it in 2 and a half weeks on TV.
