This is the kind of thing that causes me to lose respect for recruits. Say what you want about them being "kids." Integrity is not a trait you magically acquire when you hit a certain age. This kind of thing is nothing more than a lack of integrity. I've got no respect for that.

If you're looking for class then you're on the wrong board. Lamebutt isn't a child. He's a grown man.

If you're old enough to serve your country then your old enough to have your credibility shot all to hell.

Especially when you line up all targets.

Sad part about is butch jones treats these kids like his own. It's not like Saban or James Franklin he is dealing with. To claim so much respect for a man and lie to him like he means literally nothing to you blows my mind. I don't want a kid like that around because he wouldn't be able to handle tough coaching. He will be the one that challenges authority instead of listening.

Is that a threat? "shot all to hell" Did you guys really think a 5-7 team was going to hold onto all these great players? You guys wouldn't have a sack large enough to talk all this crap about these players face to face much less call him Lamebutt. Yet the men that get paid Millions to teach and prepare them get defended to hell and back for putting unprepared teams on the field...

Hope this kid stubs his toe. Hard.


Tasteless, I know. But I really hope he faces some sort of slight inconvenience or pain as retribution :p

Preferably the pinky toe. In the numerous stubbing of toes in my life that one seems to hurt the most. There were a couple of times I was sure I had broken that toe completely off my foot....terrifying times.

How to handle the situation with humor:



How to act like a spoiled rotten brat with no class:





And that, kids, is your lesson of the day! :salute:

The guy handled the end of his recruitment like a complete arse. Just my opinion, but it's beyond a selfish move when a prospect upholds his "pledge" right up until the final week of signing day, then all Hell breaks loose and flips on NSD without announcing a decommitment. So he deserves some tasteless words said about him on a message board. Big whoop. Our commits have not said anything publicly about it, but I am sure there is a lot of sour air around the Lambert situation. It reeks of sleazy rich handlers and $$$. But good luck to the dude, I guess. Careful spending that extra cash bro. Auburn you can burn. :devilsmoke:

Wait... I thought he was visiting AU just for fun? He had the coaches at his house at midnight just for ****s and giggles?

Several posters in here were acting like tools to the people who doubted lambert and his "commitment". Maybe in the future you should respect other people's opinions even if you don't agree with them.

As for recruiting, I have no problem with a recruit backing out of his commitment to do what's best for him (ex. Lauderdale). What I do have a problem with is lying... bold face lying to a school that has spent countless hours/resources with you building a relationship. Lambert joins his fellow DL, Gabe Wright, as two of the biggest liars I've encountered during recruiting. What goes around comes around. Lambert may be a great football player, but a respectable person he is not.

Nice. Couldn't agree more. The kid new he was going to the barn after his visit. That's cool, but don't lie about afterwards. He just wanted to cause a seen on his signing day. Screw him... O.williams is the real jewel of this juco signing class.

You guys get too emotionally wrapped up in recruiting. I want all the good players like everyone else. Kid chose a different school bottom line. He didn't commit a crime or kill anybody. Now grown ADULTS are calling him a punk. Leave it be and let's move on.

A lot worse than that was said in this thread alone. Not to mention the idiots on twitter.

The old, "you would say that to his face" tactic.

I would have zero problem saying that he is a liar and not a man of his word.

I wish the guy nothing but the best life.... Except for in football....

I'm no wishing him a permanent debilitation, just an injury to knock him out of football.

Damn, man. I'm pissed he didn't come to UT too and think that it was a pretty crappy thing to do to leave UT on the hook for 4 months and then bail at literally the last second, but don't you think that is a little harsh.

This.

Right way: "Coach, I've had a change of heart. I hate this but I'm going a different route. Thanks for your offer but I think this is best for me."

Wrong way: "Coach, I'm VFL. I'm just having this announcement for shiz and giggles."

...and to Mr. Keyboard ninja, you'd be surprised what I've been able to say to men nose to nose.
