re: Video of Prime cutting player during team meeting

Here I am hoping Prime crashes in CO.

Classless.

He does shite like this and he was preaching about HBCUs and how you don’t have to go P5 you can come to a HBCU and be successful and get drafted, and all HBCUs needed was for black players to commit

And then he bailed on them and is taking his players with him.

I don’t have a problem with how he handled this, but it’s just weird that it all has to be recorded.

I have a problem with it, and that's the camera being there.

I don't give a rat's arse about the team vote. But if another player had recorded it and posted it online, his arse should be the next one off the team. For the head coach to do it, it's just being a drama queen.

what did young Pope do that warranted such theatrics on Deion's part?

I am not sure, but he claims that he got hurt at Fall Camp, was not given a fair shake, and said "F*** this S***, I'm ready to go home". This Tweet was deleted.

F*** This S***, I'm Ready To Go Home


Here's the quote in C/P

Mark Pope addressed his dismissal in a since-deleted tweet.

No disrespect to anyone but, it’s 3 sides to every story. Mines, theirs and the truth. So I’m going to tell mine. I’m going to start by saying I never disrespected ANYBODY such as my coaches, teammates, and anyone else within the building. I have NEVER been a bad kid to be labeled as a “cancer”. Moreover, July 5th was my very first day going to Jackson. I went up there to practice with the team and I was not enrolled nor did I have a physical to even practice but, they still threw me out there and I ended up getting hurt, which was not my fault. I came back to Jackson in august around camp due to me still finishing my class at UM. I missed my first week of camp due to my injury. First game they didn’t take me to travel for no reason whatsoever. When I entered the transfer portal first game I was let back on the team the following week and this was the only chance I was given. I never needed “2” or “3” chances because I never did anything wrong to ask for another chance. After letting me back onto the team coach Prime himself vouched for me to play Grambling state game. Moving forward I never was able to get any reps in practice for NO reason at all! They never gave me a full drive in a game. They would give me at the most 3 plays. Moral of the story I was never give a CHANCE!! because of this I stated “F*** this s*** I’m ready to go home”, which resulted in me being kicked off the team. I never spoke down about the JSU “Family” nor did I speak harmful to anyone on this team. I’ll end it with this!! Overall I’m still grateful for the opportunity that was given to me thanks coach Prime. ????
