Where did this rumor come from?


I'm pretty sure the smoke even started during the season with him not really being happy here. It seemed to keep popping up from time to time even during the season and seemed to really get heated up again the same after.

I sure do pray he sticks because him and Sting will be absolutely two shut down corners!

If true, that's BS and needs to be addressed.



Nobody ever reports it because everyone is doing it to the best of their capacity without it really being illegal - ie using players to recruit other players, not get coaches involved if possible, etc. We are guilty of it too. How do you think Darren Evans happened so quickly right before the season? He didnt go into the portal not knowing where he would end up, it was already a done deal.

Best thing I think teams can do is if someone does transfer and you knew a team tampered a lot is block the player from going there specifically, not sure how much we can do this any more with the NCAA but we did it to TCU after they kept recruiting signees and players right off our roster with 1 OL that wanted to go there and we blocked him from doing so, he went to JUCO instead.

Could do online classes here, go wherever and enroll in summer where he ended up.

Yeah, figured it was commonplace, especially over the past year (Covid, Transfer Portal, etc)

It's still BS though

A new DC who was a well thought of NFL DB coach probably helped, if Ricks was really thinking of leaving.

It is but LSU does the same thing so they have dirt on us too. Nobody gets reported for that reason.

Yes. But he would be ineligible thru next spring. Not sure it matters except would it mean he pays his own way and all of that until eligible?

It was foolish to begin with. The best thing for a CB is to have another great CB on the other side.

There is no better spot for Ricks in college football.

Making a change when you are currently successful is the height of silliness.
very very true.

Add to that he had a better season than Stingley. Even if Stingley wasn't fluke injured he would have had many opportunities to show his stuff. That will continue into the '21 season.

ehhhh, let's just say LSU has been "selective" when to report it. We did report TCU, very likely a couple others (unconfirmed).

Just because we do/did it too isn't necessarily going to stop us (or anyone else) from reporting it. What it comes down to is if (more like when) we do it and we feel it has been hidden well enough, the fear of counter-reporting isn't a factor. Boils down to this- if you can't prove it, we didn't do it.

It's not true, but that doesn't stop people from believing it.
