re: IMG vs American Heritage

Third, Nick Bollettieri was not an agent. He was a tennis instructor. There is a fundamental difference in the relationship between an agent and a coach.

---

Just out of curiosity, how many agents currently hang around IMG currently on a daily basis? I know the answer, do you?

quote:

---

Fourth, IMG bought Bollettieri's academy in 1987. Now, ask yourself this very FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION: why do you think a sports marketing firm would buy a tennis academy?

Fifth, perhaps the "philosophies" changed when Bollettieri, the tennis coach, sold the place to IMG, the sports marketing agency.

---

What does that have to do with the fact that I went there as recently as 6 years ago? The "sports marketing firm" was in full swing when I went there. Nothing has changed since I left and that's coming from more than a few people that I regularly talk to who currently go there

quote:

Of course not. There are no handlers or uncles or dollars involved in recruiting football players to colleges.

---

What does this have to do with your claims that IMG is steering kids to Ole Miss or that Ole Miss is somehow more affiliated with IMG and has a better shot at recruits than LSU? Every college has "handlers", this has nothing to do with IMG or the way it operates

quote:

---

I am VERY well aware of how recruiting occurs. I don't give a rat's arse about how IMG is set up or operates. I don't care about what happens on that campus. I am talking about what happens with recruiters and what happens at college campuses

---

Explain the whole process then, in great detail, and explain why exactly students from IMG academy are more apt to go to Ole Miss than LSU

quote:

---

If you have not recognized the wholesale change in recruit's focus then you have not been paying attention.

---

You don't understand the thought process that went into committing to a school in 2000, 2005, 2009, 2011, 2012, or 2015, so shut the frick up and stop pretending that you understand how IMG teaches elite prospects to pick a college

quote:

---

You may know everything about mid-2000s IMG Academy, but I sincerely doubt that you know ANYTHING about Ole Miss's 2013 recruiting class and their motivations for committing to Ole Miss, big fella.

---

at this dumbass trying to spin himself into having some kind of inside info on a bunch of Ole Miss commits from 2013 that had absolutely nothing to do with IMG. The level of misinformation that you're spreading is legitimately ban worthy FYI, that's how far you are from being remotely correct about anything that you've said in this thread

quote:

---

Oh, you get SO mad when someone questions your knowledge of the place where you used to go to school before they had a football program

---

There's nothing to question. I still regularly talk to people that are involved with IMG and I know exactly what's going on there. Yea, it pisses me off when a moron like you is so desperate to sound knowledgeable or like an insider that you'll spread false information to just to get attention. You're pathetic and you need to stop talking now

:crickets:

I am no authority on IMG but the fact is it's not Calvary Baptist or basically any high school. If the purpose is to prepare kids for college, and they live like it's college, things will happen like it's college.

A LOT of kids hear about what fun college is and count the days until graduation. Shea got to basically go one year early. Good for him. Maybe he just wasn't that motivated to keep playing high school football.

Shea and his dad are kinda flaky anyways. They transfered schools 3 times from Hidalgo to Calvary and from Calvary to IMG. Transfered 7 on 7 teams twice and his dad had OM boosters fun his current 7 on 7 team. Cause the bootleggers wouldn't kiss Shea or Sean Sr's butt. Changed his committment twice in picking colleges from Arizona to OM. Now has changed his mind about all-star games multiple times went from the Army game to the UA game, to changed his mind last week and play in the Army game again.

I did go during the 2010-2011 school year. I went post grad for a year and left out the other 4 years because I didn't want everyone that I grew up with knowing who I was at the time considering there was only 1 other person from Louisiana in my grade. It's incredibly obvious that I actually went there when you read my ton of posts, I know shite about the place that no one else does. If you need to go back to a half truth I posted 6 months ago to feel like less of a dumbass then you need to get a life does anyone talking about IMG academy/ Pendleton high school care that I trained post grad in 2010 and went to a completely different campus for school to develop more before I made a career choice? Not really, it's irrelevant so I leave it out.

And in response to you claiming that I'm lying because I said "mid 2000's" once, yea, I'd consider 2005-2009 mid 2000's. But really, deflect from the fact that you're a clueless moron

They are coached by Steve Walsh former university of Miami quarterback and played in the nfl most notably with the Cowboys and Saints.

Also didn't help that they said linebacker Roshaun Smith had a bad game to go with IMG not having Shavar and Saivion not playing as well.

---

I thought Walsh was the Football Director and Kevin Wright was head coach, but I could be mistaken.

Shea had nothing to gain by going to IMG other than status and an ego thing for his dad.

The whole situation makes him look bad. Bad fit in a system where he has been for just a few weeks. Bad teammate for disposing of guys had played with for three years.
The age of free agent high school players is here and much like the AAU basketball farces the game will be worse because of it.

4* Barrow has been the guy for IMG.

Mirarmar is grossly outmanned.
