Stephen A. has always gotten on my nerves and I think he is going a little over board with this LINK TO VIDEO

Its not an issue with me if the NCAA allows it and the kid is attending LSU's camp, but to bring up how out of control programs are and questioning where there focus is ridiculous.
The name of the game is recruiting and we are ahead of it.
Kid is a great talent and loves LSU.
I don't see the issue.

Do you have a problem with it?

They do stuff like this to get ratings...that's what they want..if it stirrs up a fan base then ESPN wins..(see Skip Bayless)

It is pretty goofy. But, there is no big issue.



As for the SAS v Skip Bayless "debates", they flipped a coin. SAS came up with 'take a negative position on this issue'

Haters gonna hate. We're going to beat their beauty queen (USC) and they will hate us for it.

Dale Brown started recruiting Shaq when he was 13.

Stephen A needs to STFU.

no issue, they'll make a big deal out of nothing.

fact of the matter is, the earlier that you make the impression on the kid, the better. some may not like that practice, but proof is in the pudding.

talent is talent no matter how old the kid is. it's not like the staff is offering based on some kid's peewee highlights on youtube.

Ask him about this.

This is old news, been going on for a long time. This story is from 2010, who knows if it's happened before--almost certainly has.

ETA: This was a 7th-grader.
