Born,
My sorce claims he is in contact with some UT coaches and I've been aware for a while that UT was worried about this guy who showed up during the 7 on 7 tourny at aTm. Well UT has reason to be afraid of "street agents" because this is what took Scott away from them last year. Born you need to keep a look out for anybody new hanging around Lache and/or his family. UT noticed this with Scott then lost him to a college in Colorado. This guy targets kids without fathers and moves in with the kid and tries to claim he is an uncle or cousin to keep from raising eyebrows. His first move is to be a trainer, that's how he gets in with the kids at first. Then he will try to get the kid to distance himself from his closest friends. Thus causing isolation from everybody, but the "street agent." With the isolation no one is close enough to watch as he turns a kid on the the college who hired him. In this case rumors are aTm or USC has hired a "sreet agent" to chase Lache. Only desperate colleges like aTm will take the risk or colleges above the arm of the NCAA law like USC. Be on the lookout I would hate to see Lache lose eligablity because of some loser who rips off disadvantage kids without fathers.

Way to slip some really unsubstantiated rumors in there. Classy.

I know that is what I would normally think. NM.
I don't know if it is true CosmoK but I get the feeling UT has been watching closer than I have.
Tobatigerfan, I don't think Lache or his mother has hired this guy the horns are talking about. If this guy has taken over LS recruitment then it is because he has convenced Lache to trust him and LS doesn't have a clue this guy could be after a payday at his expense. As far as I know Lache and his mom are doing all the recruiting visits alone. Double check you information before you start writing stuff that might not be true.

Are you saying aTm is not desperate. They have a lot of pro coaches on staff who are used to dealing with agents not recruiting high school kids.
Are you saying USC is not above the NCAA law. Current events suggest otherwise.

It's good to see that LSU's at a position where we are getting a ton of good players. Because a few years ago we used to sound like Texas when we lost an instate player (i.e., Joe McKnight).

Hey Born,after reading this thread,im not buying into this BS about LS but this does sound like Brian Bulter who "HANDLED" everything for the Brown brothers in Kansas who signed Bryce/Lb'er on 08 and then his little brother in 09 as a RB with Miami,Just saying

I cannot believe 'sreet agent' individuals are hired to insure a high school recruit lands at a particular university. To think that scum-bucket people prey on fatherless (or at risk) 16-17-18 year old recruits is mind boggling to say the least. Initiation of such a process would be a direct action by a university's coaching staff.
With the NCAA monitoring recruiting activity, I would think that money would be traceable and if the same individual showed up in more than one recruit's life, and suddenly became a 'friend' of the new family, coaches with integrity would have such an outrage the NCAA would be forced to butt-slap not only the 'street' agent, but the university as well ---even to the death penalty.
I am sorry, but I am not buying this 'street' agent business. Coaches of integrity would be camping out on the NCAA's doorstep to stop such activity. This entire concept makes me sick at my stomach. Such adverse activity is about as logical as the 'poker chip' theory.
Is this another created excuse by a 'Texas Fan Board' as a reason why MB is losing so many Texas recruits?
It is difficult for me to accept that such activity really exists.

It's hard to know how much may exist. But when big money is involved, it's like the roaches coming out at night to get that dinner plate that didn't get washed. It may not be initiated by the coaching staff, but by rabid, wealthy fans. Recruits should be made aware of what to look out for.

I guess I am a little naive about what people are capable of doing. But these 'street agents' are a little far fetched.
Posted on 9/1/08 at 11:33 am to kennymorgan
I am like you, I think it is more sour grapes than anything else by the UT fan base. I first thought they were talking about me being this guy. I thought the street agent thing was nothing more than a urban myth, but Egg seems to think they are real. I personally know UT has moved down the list and can't tell if UT is using an urban myth as a scape goat to save face with the fan base. Like I've stated before I'm not a family member so I don't know all their friends. I find it hard to belive that someone could not be noticed by the NCAA doing this to high school kids. Since they seem so worried about kids writing on an public forum might get free information from a fan base. Seems people get taken by con men all the time because normal everyday people are mostly naive about how harsh some people can be. I am not saying this guy is a street agent. I just could not believe how close the discription was to someone in his circle of friends. I will now delete my thread since I was responding to a post that might have been baited by a UT poster. All I know is that LS is dedicated to getting better as a football player and looking forward to the new school year as a student & Wildcat team member.

Sorry, Egg. I must have misunderstood your post earlier, but I take it you have heard of them.

hey born to be a tiger, do you have a gut feeling about lache's college choice? It seems you know him pretty good.
Posted on 9/1/08 at 12:27 pm to PIGSKIN
I will not try to read tea leaves because there is a lot of time left during his recruitment. He still has other schools to visit. He has a list and he will be checking it twice before making his choice.

Do you know a a light skinned coach by the last name Lyles SP? I believe that he is Lache's trainer is that the guy you are talking about?

I can't recall his name because I thought he was another scout reporter. I try not to give out my e-mail, but if you have some information that could help I'm ready to write your e-mail address down.

for the record, i do think these guys exist, but i think it's more of having them get paid when these kids go pro than being paid by the colleges. they may get some booster benefits, but i don't think it's institutional
you can make a lot more money as a manager/agent for an NFL player than as an agent for a university, unless you're a HS coach in memphis or so and bama, UK, and UT are really fighting over a DT you coach
