I'm going to guess the kid in the middle...

Annexation of Puerto Rico on 3

Intimidation.

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

No I have not. And I don't intend to, sir.

Translation:

I'm not Leonard Little but I want people to think I am while being able to maintain that I'm not imitating him.

Congratulations Chase! Great job young man!

I'm worried here, we haven't seen dad here in a few days.

He said he was taking a hiatus.

 

[InVOLuntary]

He said he was taking a hiatus.

Yes, I saw that but then he posted some after that.

 

[bignewt]

A hiatus would be a good thing in my opinion most of us should do the same!

 

[cncchris33]

Perhaps he finally decided to make good on it. It's best for him and his son IMO.

You go first.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

You go first.

I dare D4H and Vol74 to start the movement.

Haven't seen either in a while. Maybe they have. Wouldn't surprise me if Sir Freak did the absolutely tremendous and fabulous thing and drop the hammer on 74. If he did, my respect for him just went to even higher, astronomical heights.

Lack of communication. Seems we hear that quite a bit with the current staff. They are so worried about the "next guy", they tend to forget about the other guy.

Once you commit you shouldn't need your ass kissed. Staff's should be free to focus their energies on the next commit, and as a future player, recruits should want the staff to be out assembling the best possible team.

I agree with that. I think it was Peyton that told Cutcliff on a visit to his home, "What are you doing here? Go out and get me some other players to play with". Something along those lines.

However, with this staffs history of dropping players, I can see why a parent would be concerned when the Vols just added a player at the same position and communication was seemingly cut off. Text not being returned. What's ring with a simple "Don't worry, you're good" type of text.

But not how it works and seems to get worse every year

As I read more, I agree the question posed to Scott and/or Butch should be answered for the Rogers' sake. However, the slowing of general communication for current commits should be expected and accepted.

I just think it's a crappy way of doing things. I'm not talking about the actual dropping of kids, that's another debate all together, but just stopping communication hoping they'll get the message. Man up, call the kid/dad, and be honest with them. Have some nuts.

With the way this staff drops recruits, I'd want constant contact as a committed recruit or family. If once committed your spot was secured and guaranteed, I'd feel differently. As we've seen, committed to this staff means little.

 

[butchna]

Somebody's awake now! :w00t: Even if it's in the same thread of a recruit he disrespected months earlier.

That's never stopped him. Only us winning dies that when he disappeared

That and a recruiting class that defies his predictions. Prolly won't get that vacation this year tho.

Agree 100% with that.

Who knows what really happened? Coaches can't comment on any of this. For all you know his dad is pulling this crap to cover his ass when kid bolts.
