In looking for some info on David Posluszny for a blog I plan on posting later tonight, I came across this quote from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review about how Posluszny’s brother, All American and Butkus and Bednarik Award winner Paul, was pulling for his brother to pick Notre Dame…
“Everyone was really happy,” David said. “Everyone wanted me to pick Notre Dame. Even Paul was pulling for Notre Dame because it’s such a prestigious school. He said when he was in my position, he would have liked to have had an offer from Notre Dame.”
Notre Dame didn’t offer Paul a scholarship, and David didn’t get an official offer from Penn State. Penn State verbally offered a scholarship to David in September but never followed up on it. Regardless, David said he didn’t give the Nittany Lions serious consideration.
I’m sure Penn State fans will be happy to see that Paul was pulling for Notre Dame and that he wished he had gotten an offer from Notre Dame when he was being recruited.
Speaking of Paul wishing he had an offer from Notre Dame, whose fault is that he never received an offer from Notre Dame? I’ll give you three guesses, and the first two don’t count. I guess I can see why he wasn’t offered though, he was only a four star recruit who listed Notre Dame as one of his favorites the summer before his senior year and Notre Dame was loaded with talent at linebacker in that class already with Mitchell Thomas (3 stars), Nick Borsetti (2 stars), and Joe Brockington (3 stars) – a group that has started a combined 13 games for the Irish.
