But his parent is confirming exactly what I’m saying...Paul ran him off.

Since you love to talk about PM’s inability to evaluate talent, let me remind you that you said Hellmers was put at 1st base to try and win the starting job over Morgan because he didn’t cut it as a pitcher.

He was given opportunities to show what he could do before his injury

he honestly hasn’t excelled in the field with judging balls or throwing accuracy either.

Wouldn't even you agree that there might be a slight bias there?

Yes, Pirate, we all aspire to be as emotionally grounded and rational as an upset player’s mother

Moms statement still doesn’t put blame on Mainieri in my mind. Just happens to be a lot of good players in the outfield right now

So CPM says Hampton told him he was done with football and he gave Hampton honesty regarding his position on the depth chart after missing fall ball.
Hampton’s mom says this is a blatant lie and the only reason Hampton didn’t get the opportunity she thinks he should have gotten, was because Hampton played football in the fall instead of participating in Fall ball.

“He never said he was not going to play football anymore. That's a blatant lie. Smh. We met with him. When he says behind it was not talent wise. He said behind meant in depth because he was at football in the fall. But that was not what Paul Mainieri said in recruiting.”
“He was promised that he would have plenty of opportunity. Now it's we're not sure when you'll get an opportunity. Coach O never lied to him, he has been stellar.”

And one that passed on 2 million dollars to come play for you...
Mo, Jr. wanted to go straight to pro baseball but his dad would not let him. (See the article I linked in the other Hampton thread. ETA: On page 5.)
That alone tells me Mo's heart was likely not 100% in it for either football or college baseball.
You are really showing your ignorance in this thread.

If you hit .600 or so in practice, you get an “opportunity.”

If this part is true, that's really fricked up. The rest is a bunch of overly dramatic nonsense.

Again, that was a lie the first time you said it. It still is today.

Opportunity doesn’t mean starting. There are better hitters than Hampton who aren’t starting any games.

I believe he misplayed one last year but I’m not saying he’s made a bunch of errors. To me he just hasn’t looked confident on some of the balls that he’s gotten since he’s been here. He’s made low throws and off target throws that weren’t any good. They didn’t end up being errors, but I’ve watched it happen. Not saying he sucks, just that he doesn’t seem to have elite defense or offense that would mandate that he be put out there for at bats or defensive purposes.

I said it in another post but PM’s honesty about Mo being behind after missing fall seems to be straight forward. But that had to have been addressed during recruiting right? And I think that’s what mom is referring to. That even though he would miss fall, that wouldn’t be held against him and he would get a fair shot. Sounds like they disagree on what fair means in their situation.

I agree with this. I think there was definitely a disconnect as to what they each interpret that to mean.

There were leagues happening? Could have sworn they were all shut down.

Judging by the scrimmages, maybe so. Travinski started at DH one game I believe. That’s not consistent “opportunity” as some may call it. Starts are earned. You don’t just get them because most of the other players have at some point or another. Some of those guys started because of injuries anyway.
