Dieter commits

[ALEX LIFESON]

Nice pub for the Stangs, with players from across the country watching! Beat Pitt!

Yes I'm sure the entire MAC is crying tonite. Those dozens offers were SMU, Kansas and the MAC. I have no problem with the guy but every coaching stafff in the nation knew about him and few quality teams offered. There is probably a pretty good reason

I don't know enough about the kid to say he will be a star, but what was the reason no one offered Zach Line out of high school? Reasonable minds may differ.

small white linebacker?

Jeff R really wanted Gehrig so do do I

Based on the crowds in that video, he will fit right in at SMU

[SMU 86]

I wonder what kind of injury he has?

[Stallion]

He said he struggled with it since 4th game so that's about 3 months-could also explain lack of offers

I thought he would have had more offers before the 4th game. But we do need a big receiver and I am glad we got him. Also, he will be accustomed to catching to ball in cold weather coming from South Bend.

This is great news. Reinebold's a good recruiter and knows the right things to say. He's a personable guy.

Dieter's father's t-shirt: a sign of a change in color scheme to come?

Someone drops this on the KU boards today. Let's hope it's not true. Though, it could explain the lack of offers.

SouthBender:

"Local buzz suggests that Dieter did not "injure" his knee Tuesday ... the West coaching staff benched him for insubordination. Apparently, he arrived in Phoenix with a raging case of Egomania (as in, "I am the best WR in the history of football). Funny thing is, every time he had a poor stat night this season, Dieter would blame it on his gimpy knee. I have attended over 30 of his HS games and I can positively assert that he is nothing more than a creation of his daddy's hype machine (the old man has a huge ego too). The majority of his stats, including the 447 yard national record breaker, were posted against pathetic teams. And many of the yards were accumulated when Washington HS was ahead by 40 or more points. Oh yeah ... Dieter's typical pass route? Run a 40 yard post pattern, stop and wave his arms. He'd then out jump 2 or 3 midget DBs for the dying quail. The only reason SMU was suckered into offering him a scholarship is WR coach Jeff Reinebold (a South Bend native) happens to be good pals with Daddy Dieter. Bottom line is, the narcissistic kid will crash and burn in Ponyland. You Jayhawk fans should rejoice."

I just hope it isn't another Longeria deal this year. SMU can't afford to flush the spot.

A redhirt year would do him well anyway.

Sounds like a jealous local.

Stl.Pony said something similar was on another KU message board. Well of it is true this should humble him. We also saw Dieter at the 7 on 7 at SMU this summer. They said he could really catch but just did not have a lot of speed. Also, I know we are trying to get his teammate David Perkins who is highly recruited and this could help.
