Dandy Don Blames Message Boards For The Loss Of Hunter

I'm going to guess that if our offense ranked 12 instead of 112th the former coach at LA freaking TECH wouldn't have been able to sway him

yes, the idiots that constantly bash our program on here and say all this gloom and doom definately plays a factor. While the recruit himself may not know about these websites I can assure you that friends or family of the recruits do and they tell the recruit about the crap on here. I know this b/c when I was in high school, we a big time profile player that LSU was recruiting at my school. There was another friend of mine at a rival school that also played at LSU. They would talk about all these websites and is actually how I came across some of these. Yall are fools if yall don't think this doesn't play into recruits thought process

good thing the school he changed to didn't just meltdown so bad they rioted.

I think Les Miles is a dead man walking as far as his remaining days in Tigertown.

Yes it does! Maybe not with hunter but people keep bashing all the in state recruits as well as coaches and it make a differece. You people think Reed, Fobbs, Wright, etc dont know about tigerdroppings? They are kids that have thousands of people talking about them daily and you think they are not looking on here? your stupid then

This is about bashing coaches not the kids. Noone was bashing Hunter.

If Hunter goes to Tennessee, it is because he wants to go there, not because of a message board. Tennessee has had all kinds of bad publicity, and their first two choices for head coach turned the job down. Nuff said.

A list of influencers for a kid deciding on a college/program:
• Parents and family
• HS coaches
• Recruiting coaches from colleges
• Outside influencers (friends, teachers, counselors, ministers, etc., etc.)
• Fans from individual schools, esp. fans on message boards

Okay, looking at this list, where would you put fans? Would they be at the top of your list? Compared to the other influencers, would fans have much if any influence on your decision?

My point is, I'd suspect fans from individual schools have very little if any influence on a kid's decision, especially compared to the other people involved.

Forgive them, they know not what they do...
