I can tell you this as a fact, TJ told CT2 and I quote "we don't need your services anymore". For people to think the first black bb player in LSU history and his family could not help you with recruiting your dreaming. He loves LSU and so does his family. TJ telling CT2 that just shows his stubborness and ignorance to the reality of recruiting. CT2 still has a lot of influence with kids just because of who he is and what he has done. People who do not think he could help just do not know what they are talking about.


wow if that's true trent needs to GTFO. anybody got an address? drivemans got the FOR SALE signs

says a lot about him. no matter the beef, when you resort to this, that's pretty pathetic.

Collis and Trent DEFINITELY had a feud. Probably still do. Anyone who says otherwise is laughably naive or lying.

Collis' job is to get kids into the best schools he can. If he doesn't trust the coach, that's his prerogative.

False. Still active in Sports Academy, still produces talent. He's got three right now who are going to be top 50 recruits.

Way to twist my post Cajun. Are you a journalist for HBO? I think the others got my point: often people on this board are able to verify rumors whether true or untrue.

i don't doubt this may have been said. but what would provoke someone to make this statement? it's never one sided.

Not it's not.


It is.
I've heard it from the CT's own mouth. He's not shy about his feelings toward Trent. He thinks LSU is afraid to fire him because he is black.

you're not the only one i've heard this from. he's been very vocal about it. what's that say about him? i've lost a lot of respect.

what is lsu suppose to do, now? consult with ct and pick the coach he would like? (john brady) if he wants to be that involved and have say who to hire, then post for the a.d. position.

he's handled this very poorly. it's one thing to have a disagreement. it's another to make it as public as he has. trent more likely than not has a part in it as well, however, you don't here him complaining about ct. it's called professionalism and maturity.

What the hell is Trent going to complain about? "CT2 didn't send me any recruits!! RAWR!!" TJ is the coach and he has no right to complain if someone doesn't like him and tells kids to go somewhere else.

I am not sure we even lost a recruit that TJ wanted because of CT


Agreed.

To my knowledge, Collis has never helped lsu get a player that was not from the BR area.. so who exactly have we missed out on due to CT2 ??

trent could very well put the dirty laundry out there about his side of the ct disagreement. he doesn't.

lsu has had an example of someone complaining about everyone and everything other than what they are suppose to be concerned about. his name was john brady.

it's a difference of opinion. i just like people who handle their differences in a quiet manner.

i wouldn't want my friends, supporters, wife, children, ect. airing our differences publicly. you keep it in house. try to work through it and keep moving forward. that's just me.

There are two sides to every story. I'm sure there was a beef of some sort, although I don't believe JR33's version of it. He claims he was also kicked to the curb by TJ, which raises Trent up a notch in my book.

I'm sure it was something along the lines of CT telling Trent what to do, or trying to have undue influence on the program, with TJ establishing his authority. If CT got his feelings hurt over that, then he is a puss anyway. He is not bigger than the program. Sounds like Daddy Dale patching things up.

BR has dried up as a hoops hotbed anyway, and CT's influence (or what is left of it) doesn't extend past there.

And with the recent reports of CT's cancer, surely he has more important things to be doing than trashing his alma mater.

What good would that do? He's the coach and the other guy is a disgruntled alum. TJ is the coach an should piss off alumni, an CT is alumni an people don't care what they do as long as they don't make LSU look bad.

CT doesn't like TJ for whatever reason and shouldn't be a little bitch about it in public, granted. However, he is not getting paid by LSU an can do whatever he wants to do. So him telling kids not to go to LSU really isn't a big deal. Not like there aren't a thousand people saying their school is better anyways.

CT is shady as frick. I certainly dont blame Trent if he did try to push him away.

CT the street agent.
