I think Losten changed his mind after the coaches he committed to were fired. I have no problem with him opening his recruitment back up again. It's the JJ type of commitment where he led coaches on when he knew he had changed his mind.

We will have to take him at his word that he is solid LSU. Ford and Shepard were true to their word as they had parents that developed their moral character. He either comes from a family who live by their values or he is like Janzen Jackson's family. If he is like Jackson, we don't need him. He would only be a distraction for the team.



These posts are silly. What kind of values lead people to judge the character of 17 year old kids without knowing them. None of us know all the details of these situations. Our coaches pull offers. Kids switch commitments. I don't like the way it plays out either, but it does not define a kid's character.


You're kidding me, right? Since when does lying not "define a kid's character?" As a varsity football coach and high school teacher, I can guarantee, in no uncertain terms, that lying absolutely defines a kid's character. If Davis does, indeed, show up at UT, he outright lied to the TSD guys. Sure, we don't know "all the details of these situation." But the feelings about Davis refer to a very specific situation: a recruit outright lying about his commitment.

Kids rise to the level of expectations placed upon them. If lying is tolerated, kids will continue to lie. I have absolutely no problem judging his character IF he indeed visits Texas this weekend. If we don't hold kids to some very basic standards, such as honesty, how do we expect them to be productive members of society?

Bottom line, lying does give us an indication of a kid's character.

Well since you are a varsity football coach, I recognize your moral authority. If it were jv, it'd be a different story. Actually the PE teacher part is what really convinced me of your expertise in ethics. These posts are nothing more than moral posturing. EVERY 17 year old kid in America lies. Every 17 year old kids has a lapse in judgment that leads to a mistake. Get over yourself.
