re: Hahnville QB "hearing" Thursday

Did anyone hear the Bonine interview? He sounded less educated and harder to understand than Bobby, Garic, and hell, throw Deke in there for good measure.

Maybe he's just not used to doing interviews, but he sounded bad. What I was able to gather...

1) He had no idea about VC offering financial aid if the kid stayed

2) He mentioned that a "form" had inaccurate information on it, and that form was signed by the school

3) He practically admitted that he thought the kid's punishment should have been less, and Salt's punishment more. However, he is bound by the rules and codes laid out by the principals.

4) The "investigators" the LHSAA uses are retired principals with no specialized investigating experience. They just rely on whatever "investigation" skills they picked up when they were principals.

It's pretty difficult to accept that decisions on items like this are being based on information gathered by former principals.

5) In three years they have had over 1100 (don't recall exact number) investigations on player eligibility, and something like 82 percent of the time, the player is deemed eligible.

6) They currently have 999 transfer cases pending. In a association that has roughly 400 schools.

One thing I know about the dad, he will do and say anything to make his boy look good.

And you must not have any kids. Every Father wants the best for his children and why wouldn't he.
I'm sure the Coach at VC will say and do anything to make his self look good too.

Let's just say for arguments sake that the kid is guilty and the coach of Hawnville is guilty of recruiting the kid.
Explain to me how a kid who can't move his self who's father doesn't have a job is banned for a whole year while the adult coach who recruited him is only going to miss 4 games????

Where exactly is the dad coaching

Or maybe Terrebonne wasn’t gonna hire Dad to get the son to play for them.

Or maybe he knew that he wasn’t going to beat out the Terrebonne QB

Dad ain’t worried about education, he’s worried about showcasing his kid and Hahnville is a higher profile than Terrebonne

yeah let's be honest... colleges like some schools more than others

If Bonine enforced rules then he would have enforced the pitch count rule instead of stating "human error"

What would you say If I tell you I'm hearing this kid still has a chance to play in the next couple of weeks... and it's got a lot to do with Vanderbilt and the LHSAA?
