Here is why Fowler didn't let us know. Strong told him not to

f em both....YEET

You really didn't properly label his sentiments from the article.

That's fine if he wants to operate like that, but long term he is screwing himself.

It sucks the way it went down but that's recruiting the way the ncaa has it set up, it happens every year and will continue to be that way when that age kid is being pulled in that many different directions
I really can't fault a kid for staying in state with the home school in this case and it's not like LSU didn't have an inkling he was headed that way

I don't like it.

You are free to attend whatever school you like, but when you string other schools along like that, you are stopping them from recruiting other kids or offering kids who may want in.

Also, before anyone says that every schools do this, that is not necessarily true. A lot of schools are honest with kids and where they stand with them team in terms of recruiting.

its one thing to commit, its another to decommit once you know you are no longer committed. but all is fair in love and college football recruiting.

Teaching those boys some good lessons.

Hope this all backfires.

thats fine for uncommitted kids

but for committed kids to not at least de-commit, it just doesn't sit right with me

I couldn't do it. I couldn't just lie to other coaches that were, by all accounts, good to me.

I realize its part of the game for the coaches, but for the kids to sign off on it? I wouldn't want my kid to do that.

It seems that the conduct was more sinister than the article suggests.
As I understand it, we got reassurance just before NSD he was still with us.
Is that correct?

He's going to have another shitty team because he is a shitty coach. This Gould be should be his final year as a head coach at any major program.
