WINNING!!

[citdog]

Lineman Jon Barrett Lewis had long been verbally committed to Western Carolina when he attended the Catamounts' football game against The Citadel last October.
The Bulldogs routed WCU, 37-14, that day and went on to go undefeated in the Southern Conference, winning a second straight league title.
It's no coincidence that Lewis, a 6-2, 296-pounder from Lenoir, N.C., who was named to North Carolina's Shrine Bowl team, is now committed to The Citadel.





"Definitely," Lewis said when asked if the Bulldogs' recent success played a role in his decision. "I had been committed to Western Carolina for a long time, so it took me a while to think about it. But when I thought about it, the opportunity at The Citadel overwhelmed the opportunity at Western Carolina."
As Citadel coach Brent Thompson and his assistants zero in on National Signing Day on Wednesday, the Bulldogs' success over the last two seasons — records of 10-2 and 9-4, two FCS playoff berths, two SoCon titles and a win over South Carolina — seems to have boosted recruiting efforts.

So you took a player that was committed to a team that is worse than yours and you are bragging about it? I could understand this if it was a recruit from NDSU or JMU...

Just imagine how good the recruits would be if The Citadel made it past the quarterfinals

I actually think he just wanted to go to school in Charleston rather than in the sticks.:D Just kidding, I love going up to Cullowhee, nice place, even if it is in the middle of nowhere. I have to say that while everyone loves where their school is located, out of all the SOCON schools, from a purely neutral standpoint, Charleston is hard to beat. And winning does help. Guess it just depends on what folks are looking for. I just hope he can hack the discipline. Going to The Citadel is a two edged sword.

They???? LOL you totin around a carpetbag????

The big issue at the Citadel is retention. Athletes don't get special consideration, and many find that they don't enjoy the military lifestyle, or are quietly dismissed, and end up at Newberry.

Yeah too much responsibility to go to the Citadel, I would stick with a regular school instead.
