[UTJoe]

Of course. after all, they know who they have been paying. :birgits_giggle:

Liked. Underrated post IMO.

You all just see the re-tweet from Vince Ferrara saying that this young man still hasn't signed his LOI? Says he has only signed a FAA and is still being heavily recruited by Ole Miss?

I'm not buying it....just wanted to see if anyone else had heard it.

Vince Ferrara is another "local media" member who will fall all over himself trying to find something that is not good for Tennessee. I think that he's from Florida, which would explain quit a bit, actually.

 

[drvenner]

There are fax machines, scanners, FedEx overnight, courier services and lots of ways to get the father's signature "while he is away". If the article is correct, it is an issue despite all the folks on here saying it is not, especially since there were rumors that the Dad refused to sign. Somebody at UT needs to get this done and put it to bed.

Ahhh....ever the ray of sunshine. Wait, wait, I know. You're not a sunshine pumper, you're a realist.

This whole situation is sad and ridiculous

Typical VN. We shouldnt be surprised.

 

[drvenner]

I"m not trolling. Looks like I got some better replies than what you offered. Don't be so uptight.

A Georgia fan not trolling? lol: That's like an OM fan saying that Freeze runs a clean program.

10-4

Bama's record next year - including two losses to Tennessee

 

[Nashvegas31]

If the espn report is correct there is virtually nothing freeze did that will result in anything more than self imposed penalties just like we just had

Freeze looks plenty safe to me from that article

Keep in mind Chris Low was just at Ole Miss this past few days before writing this so his article is very much from Ole Miss spin on things. Remember when this first came out Ole Miss claimed majority of violations were former staff not Hugh. It turns out to be the other way around. I get the feeling the Tunsil stuff ends messy. They better hope that Car lot doesn't have paper trail which it probably does because they have to write off all these deals somehow. Can't just a give cars away at next to nothing or nothing at all that easy. They been funneling cars from there for a long time.

Could be but the AD is quoted as saying there were no surprises in the report

Sounds like damage control. Issuing a statement that projects confidence from their perspective only makes sense at this point. He's not going to step up to the mic and say, "Holy crap! We had no idea it was this bad."

No doubt about that part.

So many layers to OM's "network" that unless the NCAA has a paper trail leading back to Freeze, he'll be cleared.


SN I haven't paid much attention to Kongbo situation but it makes me think back to CeCe Jefferson last yr. He committed to UF on NSD but his dad wouldn't sign the NLI. If you remember OM was involved as well. Some message board scuttlebutt was dad had taken some payments from OM boosters.

Bag men know better than to let coaches know what's going on. There will never be a trail of money leading to a coach.

The season AD who said all the violations were prior to freeze?

Vince is a USF grad and I can't stand his BS.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Vince is a USF grad and I can stand his BS.

So you like Vince's bs? Or did you mean "can't"? Not trying to be a SA, just trying to understand your meaning.

Want me to Handle this? I am USF alumni and I'm Siciliano.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Edit Can't. I could care if less if he went to USF but the poster I responded to said he thinks he is from Florida. Just pointing that out.

Contractions aren't your friend today.

Gotcha. Thought that's what you meant. Just making sure.

Obviously.

So you could care less? Just trying to figure this thing out.

 

[Falcons02]

I'm so confused...

 

[aredfox28]

Level 1 is not good news for the Black Bears, correct?

But if you're a rebel... Nothing matters.

 

[engineerVOL]

I'm so confused...

Basically, PEPPERJAX is a South Floridian who can put up with a lot of bull excrement while caring way too much about his fellow alums

Hope you know I'm just kidding around, PJ.

UT now has his LOI per Rucker.

So....ummmm....should we all boom again? I'm not sure of the proper protocol in these situations.
