Greg Romeus Best Be Honest

Filed under: Football,NCAA,Players,Scandal — Chas @ 3:10 pm

With the NCAA enforcement paying attention to social media as a way to find out who could be violating rules, Greg Romeus’ name is somewhere in the midst of the burgeoning agent scandal.

Greg Romeus attended San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore’s South Beach party in May, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation told NFL Insider Aaron Wilson.

Romeus is from nearby Coral Springs, Fla., so it’s plausible that the NFL draft prospect could have arranged for his own transportation to the pool party at Gore’s residence.

We’re told that Romeus is prepared for any inquiries about how he came to be at the party.

The story notes that reports state that Romeus has denied to Pitt officials and coaches that he was even in Florida. Hopefully this is true.

If the NCAA starts sniffing around him, he had better be honest about things even if he attended. Last year Dez Bryant for Texas Tech Oklahoma St. had his career ended because of lying to investigators. Not for actually meeting with Deon Sanders. It’s always the cover-up that makes things worse.

Romeus is poised to be a first round pick regardless of this. It will, however, effect a lot of other things.

Romeus is one of the seniors on the squad and a face of Pitt football this year.

The Big East exposure continues on Friday as Pittsburgh hits the Bristol campus.

Coach Dave Wannstedt, running back Dion Lewis and defensive end Greg Romeus will appear in spots on the “Mike and Mike Show,” “College Football Live,” “The Scott Van Pelt Show” and ESPNews.

Romeus has also been named to the watchlist for the Allstate Insurance and American Football Coaches Association’s Good Works Team.





Let’s hope we are not playing without the DE position come Fall.

Poteat chooses Pitt.

Perhaps Chestnut will follow tomorrow!

Its great seeing so many talented athletes choosing Pitt over schools like USC, Florida, Ohio State, and even the State Penn. Wanny and company are doing something right.

Poteat hopefully will end up being a great catch, but keep in mind that Collier and Burns were both 4 star RB recruits and have not seen much playing time.

Sorry, had to correct you that Dez Bryant attended Oklahoma State University, not Texas Tech.

Comment by Marc 07.28.10 @ 4:15 pm

Whoops. I’ll correct.

Golly, Gee. Pitt is getting these big time recruits. Don’t the recruits realize that Pitt is not in the Big 10, the SEC or the ACC? What gives?

Comment by BigGuy 07.28.10 @ 4:56 pm

Keep up all the good work Chas. Avid reader that can’t wait for camp to open.

Comment by Marc 07.28.10 @ 5:13 pm

Not that offers are the end all be all (see Dion Lewis), but Collier and Burns didn’t have the offer sheets that Poteat have.

I assume the Texas Tech confusion was because they had the last knucklehead (Crabtree) before Dez. It is very difficult to keep the diva WRs straight. Much easier to keep the classy ones straight: Larry Fitzgerald went to Pitt, Andre Johnson went to Miami. And that is the end of the discussion of classy wideouts.

[…] I said last week, as long as this is the truth — and evidence clearly says yes — then all is well. Romeus has now put it publicly out […]
