Paulus Picks The Cuse
857 views
Greg Paulus decided to go home after all.
Weeks after speculation had the former Duke point guard returning to his high school stomping grounds to play one season of quarterback for Syracuse, Paulus officially announced he would indeed be playing for the Orange in 2009.
Paulus will be studying broadcasting at the Newhouse School, considered one of the better broadcasting schools in America.
"Syracuse has a lot of great things about it," Paulus said. "You grow up in a culture and realize there's a lot of great things out there. My gut and my heart were telling that was the best place for me."
Paulus had take a two-day visit to Nebraska nearly two weeks ago, and seemingly had the Cornhuskers as a finalist.
I had a great visit there," Paulus said. "Nebraska is a place where there’s so much tradition. They have great people there. I had a great conversation with Coach Pelini and spent a lot of time with the guys, and Coach Watson. But my heart and my gut told me Syracuse was the best place for me."

Seems to me his decision was also in the Huskers best interest. We've got a number of quality QBs wanting to get in the mix. Adding someone like Paulus smacks of when Callahan brought in Keller. A good QB but not quite ready for Husker prime time. Without Paulus, Lee and the others get to compete. That's a good thing.

Can't argue with the choice. Facing another year of school without an athletic scholarship 1,500 miles from home would play a large role in making a decision. Attending a school in your own backyard, with an academic program that's tops in the field you want, is hard to compete against.
Best of luck to you, Greg.

Good for you and best of luck Paulus. It's hard to fight your heart and gut. I wish you nothing but the best.
