Regardless of the guys abilities,the fact remains that they offered him and then did not have the decency to call and tell him his scholarship offer was rescinded. There is no accountability whatsoever up there.

So where is the AD's response or do we just assume this kid is telling the 100% truth?

Oh give us a break VH.

Yes. They got their wires crossed but that is hardly typical for the way UT has done business in recruiting under CPF. They probably lost the kid from Nashville to Bama because they wouldn't tell him they'd try him at RB first whereas Saban would.

Yes. UT might have made a mistake with this kid. We'll know for sure in a little over a week, right?

I've heard that after the Bama loss recruiting basically went into hibernation because the entire staff was worried that one more loss would mean all of their jobs.

Did you hear that from your cousins friends mom who works at the diner where she once served Mike Hamilton's wifes mom's sister son's g/f's nephew?

I believe the police made CPF stop contacting recruits because all of the police are corrupt and want the football team to fail.

Well, he's a 3* OL and I don't see anybody else just dying to come here. If they had it over they would have took him.

Nope. From AtlantaVol on the Outer board. pertinent part is in bold.

None other than LWSVOL (who is very well connected) has said that the UT staff NEVER connected hardly at all with recruits back in the spring and summer of 2007. Some have speculated they rested on their laurels after a Top 5 class in 2/07 but whatever- they were behind the 8 ball from the get go.

It is also strong speculation that TT knew his days were numbered when the jealousy about his getting extra $$$ from meeting with UT fans, was snuffed out by Hamilton and Fulmer when this EASILY could have been made "legal" by funneling the money thru UTAD before getting to TT. Some well connected guys have said TT really slacked off in recruiting in the summer and then almost stopped all together after the Chavis- Trooper practice field spat in August.

And then the STRONG word I get is that recruiting STOPPED dead in its tracks in October after the AL blowout loss since ONE more loss (the USC game being prime example) would have meant the ENTIRE staff would be out of a job. So they went all out to keep their job and recruiting was at that point a goner for 2/08.

Now, ALL of this happened BEFORE the 4 assistant coaches left but it didn't help ANYTHING that Fulmer took a full 6 frickin WEEKS to fill out his staff and it was mid January before we were at full coaching strength. My theory is that again- a bowl game win was vitally important to Fulmer's career/contract and especially to fan reaction/feelings towards him. So recruiting was DEAD in December also as the attention was a meaningless bowl game and getting new coaches.

It was the Philapotamous Perfect Storm!

That's all you can say because you know how ignorant you look for believing someone off of the internet. That could be a 13 year old kid for all we know.

what is your source on that? If you cannot give me 100% ironclad proof then you shouldn't be posting it.:)

The fact is we took a scholly from a good lineman in a pos. we sorta are needy in. Stupid move. He called to commit and there was no longer an offer.

Quite frankly, I figure the Coaches know more than you about what positions they want and who they are recruiting.

This guy is better than Caron Anderson the littlefat kid from Bama. The only reason he got offered is his parents are donors.
