Title: Can Nkemdiche handle what's coming? Post by: 2Stater on April 17, 2012, 02:10:48 PM http://espn.go.com/college-sports/recruiting/football/story/_/id/7815610/robert-nkemdiche-prepares-toughest-opponent
Quote Beneath the starry exterior, though, lurks a dark forecast. Nkemdiche is about to get hit like never before, and really, he's got no idea if he's ready for it. Nobody his age -- he turns 18 on Sept. 19 -- is prepared for the onslaught of scrutiny and adulation from coaches, fans and media set to engulf him over the next 9½ months. Quote After setting a May deadline, Nkemdiche said last week that he'd like to again visit his top schools -- Alabama, Clemson, LSU and Ole Miss -- before making a decision. As Conn, the Grayson coach, sees it, there's no rush to pledge, because if he commits early, it only adds new pressure. Conn said he expects Nkemdiche to wait until late in the recruiting cycle to announce his choice. Maybe until he plays in the Under Armour All-America Game in January. Or later. Signing day next year is Feb. 6. "We've been trying to prepare him for this since he walked in here in ninth grade," Conn said. "He's learning. Looks like we'll have to wait awhile before he gives Bama the nod. ;) Title: Re: Can Nkemdiche handle what's coming?

He is going to be eploited to ever kind of sex and unhealthful thing there is to come play at this or that school. RTR!
