Emmett Randle sounds like the dad of Venus and Serena Williams


The one who trained and put them in position to be the number 1 and number 4 earning women's athletes of all time? With Serena at number 1 ($22.7 Mil) and Venus to become number 2 all time next year ($22 Mil). Thats of all time. Give me a father like that.

Why is it that fans believe that they know better than family what is best for a recruit? Do you want some stranger making decisions for your family? Do you think Randall's father does not have his son's best interest at heart, even if you do not agree?

Why demonize people because they see things differently? Although I would love it if Randall chose LSU, I can't think of one recruit in the last 10 years that it could be said he would have made a definite difference in LSU's success. McKnight? BCS title says no. Has he helped USC win a title? Luther Davis? No! Robert Lane? No!

There is a saying "You can't miss what you never had". LSU will be fine without Randall, if he chooses to go elsewhere. Its like the dating game, loser type guys with no confidence downrate the girl when she doesn't choose him. Guys with class and a history of success with the ladies do not. LSU fans need to show more class than I have seen relating to the Randall situation.

i think he meant the militant, control their lives part of it. it's easy to force feed tennis your kids when you have giant $$ in your eyes

why do parents feel they have a say in what school their child attends, especially if they aren't paying for it? i would definitely take my parents advice, but they wouldn't make the decision for me as many of these parents think they will
