What about coaches that bail on their recruits?

This is my point.  I get upset when a coach does this.  Much more so than when a kid decides he wants to go somewhere else and bails on his commitment.  Why are we okay with the double standard?  For some reason I am, but not sure I have a good reason for it.  

 

Personally, I feel if a kid doesn't want to be there, it is unlikely he will benefit the school anyway.  And I almost always think a school should give a full release to such kids.  But I get highly offended when a school gets jerked around by any school.

It's all the pressure of having the top college coaching job in the country. But then again, it's like everywhere else......win or bye-bye. Why isn't Saban still in Miami? Why isn't Petino still in Bo

I don't even know anyone who reads him more than you.  I don't even know the last time I read him when you didn't post something of his. How's that moving on thing working for you?  Me thinks poor Mac

I disagree with you PhatMack!  It probably isn't going to start well, but I think that it is going to end well!!

I think a lot of the double standard is the perception of the big rich universities taking advantage of poor HS kids.  Social media has totally changed the recruiting game and made these kids superstars before they even enroll in school.  It's funny how right after those first recruiting rankings come out during sophomore year the top recruits gain 10,000 Twitter followers.  

 

If Lampkin is really intentionally failing a class in order to avoid going to Texas that sets a bad precedent.  It's pretty smart on his end, but may open up a whole new can of worms in the future.  He made it pretty clear he wasn't happy that Charlie lied to him about Rumph leaving 2 days after signing day.  Maybe this is his way to get back at them.

​Charlie lied??

Why would the head coach at the greatest school have to lie?

(Shaking Head) You other Aggie's just do not understand - Charlie would never ask a Coach (Wink) to stay till after signing day to keep on the fence recruits from flipping so he OBVIOUSLY did not know that "that" coach was leaving till after signing day was over - how could he have :).

On a lighter note I believe as some of you do that a athlete many times attends a school not for the school but for the coach - so I also feel that student athletes should also be allowed to change schools if the coach leaves.

If the payment of athletes does come into place my opinion on that will change as well - they then become (for lack of a better word) employees if that university then movement should then be restricted.

Until then the NCAA should allow most transfers and allow young men to change their commitments if the university has a coaching change.

Report: Strong says Everett Golson wanted to be a Longhorn

This is the hidden content, please

 

Why would the Irish be afraid od the Longhorns with a QB?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but ND can not block anything because he has graduated.  This isn't a normal transfer.  Oh well, I guess Charlie will say whatever he needs to keep the fans believing he is actually trying to improve the offense.

​You are wrong. It's OK though. Keep grasping at straws, Charlie is one of the good guys in college football. It's only natural for one of the most corrupt conferences to try and tear down his reputation. The most important day in the SEC is not National Signing Day, it's Parole Day.

Did you miss the 15,000 articles on schools he was allowed/not allowed to transfer to?   Don't worry so much about Charlie.   I realize it only took him a year to bust the bubble you guys seemed to be grasping at recruiting wise.  The good news, or the bad news, is that no one is interested in your cellar-dweller coach anymore...

Busted our bubble in recruiting?  What about the 5 grade risk that may never step foot on campus including one that is intentionally failing to get out of his LOI?

​You miss the point - they won the recruiting war even if none of them ever hit the playing field.

No one keeps up with UT recruiting as much as you.  So we might not know as much.  You guys are welcome to our culls as always.  You're welcome in advance.

You keep using my line!

But why would one be obsessed with the goofy little brother who we literally owned for a century, until said little brother tucked tail ran from one conference in which it couldn't compete to another conference in which it can't compete.  On the other hand, it may be of some benefit to study another's failures to make sure to not make those same mistakes...

      Waco La Vega (42) vs West Orange-Stark (20) - FINAL

      By 1970 · Posted

      Still, from what little I saw, it should have been a much closer game.  WOS was missing some fundamentals on defense, and a lack of imaginative play calling on offense.  Just my opinion as an objective observer on Texan Live, which was horrible btw, but that's another story.

      West Orange Stark has been a powerhouse since I csn remember. At some point, your bound to fall off to some degree. Alabama has 3 or 4 loses this season. Who would have thought? Has Orange lost kids to LCM or even Orangefield?

      Port Neches-Groves vs Texas High

      By Bordertown · Posted

      Interesting matchup this Friday. Both teams have very good offensive and defensive lines, which will make this game interesting. Having watched Texas High all season, they have a wide open offense with very good skill players. If you look at their stats they run the ball 57% of the time and pass 43% of the time. Personally, that is a bit deceiving, as most of their games have seen reserves running the ball in the 4th quarter. I would estimate the primary offense is 50/50. Through 12 games they have run for 3,224 yds (48tds) and passed for 2,894 yds (32 yds). Potter, the Tiger QB, has been very efficient with a 69% completion rate and 1 interception (which came from a tipped pass). The passing is distributed primarily to 4 receivers…. Ball (865), Wrightner (811), Montgomery (532), & Pilgreen (392). The rushing comes from 3 running backs … Johnson (1,432), Ball (768) & Moore (716).  The Tiger defense is solid and very quick.    Hope #15 is healthy enough to play. He is a test for any defense. I was concerned about the Nederland RB, but felt Texas High did a good job containing him. I wish this game was in the afternoon, as Nachitoches is having their Festival of Lights and their will not be any rooms in the inns and restaurants will be full so plan accordingly. PNG are state champions until someone knocks them off, so I extend the Indians the respect they deserve. Pulling for the Tigers.

      The baseball coach has a ton of experience at high school and college level and hasn’t done anything for I think around 7 years now,it’s just something that the higher ups live with.And there has been talent come through that he hasn’t done anything with!
