I guess he's not aware that his chosen profession has played a role in creating the essence of celebrity and inflating the egos of these recruits that creates these situations.

He’s not wrong though. It’s pretty ridiculous.

This is why Joe Brady said F this after Burton flipped to Georgia.

Maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Might change the rules and it sure in the hell needs to. If you sign it needs to be public! frick it, it's our tax money honestly in the majority!

I will note that Jimmy said "kids are forced into deceit. . ."

That is incorrect. Kids are encouraged into deceit by people of his profession and NOT for the kids benefit, but for their own.

The question is signed what? Financial papers only? LOI? It makes a difference in a way.

The timing looks like an LOI (w/accompanying financial papers) which is reported to both the conference and NLI.

We went through this last year with the former owner and current employee of 247 telling everybody Zach Evans "signed" with UGA but didn't say what he signed. Lo and behold, UGA didn't lose a spot and he's at TCU.

That in of itself is an issue. Seemed very likely that 247 was "misleading" and no one could verify what, if anything he signed, but were perfectly willing to take 247's word for it.

No time for games when the end game for a young coach is the nfl. You have to want to be a college coach. Recruiting is the life blood and honestly it’s passing O by at this point. If he doesn’t do well this upcoming season and recruit the offensive line he’s doomed.

Could we (or the media) file FOIA requests after NSD1?

Agree with him. It’s ridiculous these immature publicity seeking recruits lead these coaches on- Exhausting resources money and effort.

How fricking shallow do you have to be to look at a guy in the eye for several months and leave him on?

Leigh is an immature POS and I know he’s only 18 but I hope he gets his arse handed to them and learns some tough lessons.

There will be a rule in place next year that makes the schools publish their loi’s. That will cut down on the bs.

History is usually unkind to the kids with drama filled recruitments.

I guess you’re not aware that your species has played the same role; your chosen co-hobbyists have played the same role. See how stupid it is to blame someone because someone in the same group did something.
