March 9th’
Though not confirmed it seems that Latwan Anderson is on his way to the University of Miami. Anderson was down in Miami this past weekend and there’s talk of him going to Miami on a track scholarship. However, the legalities of such a move must be examined. If Anderson is going to play football then he has to be on a football scholarship. Stay tuned. In the meantime, Anderson has grown bitter at West Virginia fans who are coming after him for what appears to be his decsion to attend Miami.
On Anderson’s Facebook Profile, he has posted a message sent to him from a WVU fan that reads:
“your a media whore, and want all of the attention you can get. To be truthful I don’t want your thug ass at WVU. Travis Bell is better than you and Q Forte, I DON’T WANT YOU AT WVU. Fucking Drama Queen, Media Whore…..good luck on a average Miami team, you should fit nicely on the bench there!I guess this is Wat they see”
Anderson’s profile pic also has a strong Miami feel to it:
Anderson expressed frustration in an earlier Facebook post in which he states “I haven’t even picked a school yet and WVU fans are telling me I won’t make it”. Anderson also goes on to state “Miami will treat me just as well as the WV would… but i fit in more and have a better chance of making it at uofm”
Anderson’s decision has taken on a full life of it’s own and now has built itself up into something rather large. Keep returning to Gridironstuds.com/blog/ for more details as they happen.
