Lol. I walked onto a college team before ever having any communication with any assistants much less coaches. I'd be perfectly happy if my son joined the program as a walk on in the same way. The idea that because the offer came via text message from an assistant it's some sort of huge transgression is insane.

An “embarrassment” that Heupel needs to personally “apologize” for it’s existence? Oversold and never made it onto the shelves. 😴

I was guessing it was going to be a case of him having an offer but not a committable one, tried to commit and was told he would have to wait. Him and his family are then embarrassed and feel misled.

But it sounds like it wasn’t that big of a deal

We’re burying the lead. We DID lose some scholarships recently.

So…someone connected to the family, is begging on Volnation, for a coach to evaluate this kid, so they give him an offer and now the begging family is mad because the offer wasn’t delivered in the manner they deem fit?
Their goal was an offer. They got it. Sorry. I’m calling bs.

Texting for the first time reaching out isn't real cool

You prolly caused it by calling, texting, and emailing in a flurry, and trying to get everyone else on VN whipped into a frenzy to do the same. It's on you.

Also you seemed to have lied about UT being his dream school since he was a kid. And also you lied that our staff didn't know who the recruit was. And in fairness to the Simmons family -- who are prolly great people -- I have to think that you lied about how upset they are.

You have caused all of this, and now you're looking to blame Heup. That's what's not cool. And making the recruit look hysterical -- when it's you who have been hysterical -- is mistreating Wyatt.

You wanted to play the hero and Mr. Connections, and it backfired on you.

Just stop talking and let it be over.

First, a uniformed messenger arrives. Either on horseback or in a horse drawn carriage. The messenger should present a letter in an envelope sealed with wax and the official power T seal. The letter should be presented to the recruit on a golden tray and not handed directly to the recruit. To do so is a major fox paw and could derail the whole recruitment before it even gets start. The letter should praise the recruit in everyway possible, including athletic ability, overall intelligence, and of course their physical appearance. Comparing their body to that of a Greek god is a nice touch. The letter should also ask the recruit and their family for permission to continue recruiting them in the future with the hope of heaping enough praise on them to gain their commitment. The messenger should lie prostate on the ground while the letter is being read and the written response prepared. Once the recruit has offered their written response and left the room the messenger can then get up and return to their master.

Second....

Short of deliberately insulting him, Im not sure what they even had time to do to piss him off that bad.

Agree. I truly think Heupel and crew are genuinely good guys. Hard to imagine what could be so bad , and for some reason it always seems like we are held to such higher standards than other coaches/schools. KIRBY or SABAN could lie to your face, insult your momma, or flat out not even remember your name but somehow all is forgiven and they jump at the chance to go there. 🤷‍♀️

I’m thinking an assistant coach saw his tape and liked it. Told the coaches…who are extremely busy at the moment! Yay! They said offer him. The assistant may not have worded it well. Then again, I don’t know how situations like this work. And this is just trying to read between the lines of what a random poster on VN said.

Again…recruits always give praise to our coaches for being honest and straightforward with them.
