'19 GA ATH Owen Pappoe (Auburn signee)

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Why won’t parents just let their kids make their own choices in life?

Because they are parents and the kids are their children?

 

[OHvol40]

The question that everyone really wants to ask: why don’t we have more “walking around” money than Auburn?

 

[Jackcrevol]

Because they are parents and the kids are their children?

We are here to give guidance. They need to learn to make their own decisions, and, seek proper information to make well rounded decisions...


sounds easy enough doesnt it?

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Because they are parents and the kids are their children?

That’s fine & all.

But eventually their children will become adults. Adults have to choose their own path.

If your heart isn’t in it then what’s the point?

Mama still going through that cash Gus dropped off the other day.

She was overheard during a conversation at work yesterday saying "the Lord works in mysterious ways."

Went to the Newton's church, said a prayer and holy crap, it's a miracle!

 

[BondJamesBond]

That's how recruiting works. 17 yo's change their minds as often as you change underwear.

Yep, every six weeks or so.

 

[SaguaroVols]

Paying recruits is not illegal. it is an NCAA "rule" violation... and the NCAA has no subpoena powers to compel anybody to produce any evidence...Using Agents that get involved with families...that appears to be the route these days.

Auburn nobody does it better...You get on probation trying to "compete" in that game wiith them...

Umm...pretty sure it is illegal. Just refer to the recent FBI investigation and wiretaps involving NCAA basketball coaches and assistants discussing payments with recruits.

A few of these assistants were indicted on federal charges.

I'm sure this scared off the discussion of money changing hands some. There are still other ways to "pay" recruits and their families.

Why won’t parents just let their kids make their own choices in life?

Better question is why won't kids nowadays make up their own decisions?

The illegal part would be money laundering and/or tax evasion. There is no law against giving money and reporting the income. Of course to do so immediately gives the NCAA a paper trail, hence my statement that bag men work on the fringe. Staying off the radar of both the IRS and NCAA is no doubt challenging.

Actually,you bring up an excellent point which is why are Feds even worried about this..The NCAA has pushed the envelope to get third parties indicted for "inducing" prospects to make themselves ineligible....But not claiming any culpability on the part of the prospect...Such being a fraud charge....

But you can be sure that no NCAA institution is going to seek to have its Athletic Association or boosters prosecuted for meddling in their programs.

Just take a good look at society these days

 

[volinbama256]

Kid made a wise choice.
We need some Omar Gaithers, Jaylen-Reeves Maybins, Raynoch Thompsons.....that ain't Pappoe.

Uhh what? You don't think we need this kid!? You CRAY

 

[SoMissVol]

Just depends on the situation boys. There are a TON of ways to skin that cat. Actually cash is not really as preferred as it used to be unless structured correctly. But then again what do I know.

This is a dive into the process I was not expecting.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

For real. He thinks an ILB from TN is a better prospect than one of the best LBs in the class.

So I guess she ordered some of Peter Popoff's free miracle water and found a 50k cash bag in her mailbox from the barn....

 

[jpope9]

Just take a good look at society these days

and that's the problem.

Price and Simonton both talked liked this one isn’t over yet on the VQ podcast.

[kemotoe]

What else did they say?

They didn’t sound super optimistic, but they did say it’s possible to get back in it.

 

[Coach Punk]

Geez, Fulmer, spring for the clearcoat package!

No time to be being miserly now!

 

[colvol]

What else did they say?

They brought up the tweet and them both of them said things along the lines of “yeah, but he obviously liked the Vols before and people had been in his ear about staying with AU”. It sounded like they thought if the staff could get back in his ear they’d have a shot.

 

[EBVol865]

Yeah don't get upset with the person sharing the information rather give little value to the said information as it is always shaky at best.

My goodness, I have lurked in the RF for a year now because the FF became so insufferable. I couldn’t hide anymore. Do you just wallow in a state of negativity and gloom? My goodness. Stay in the FF.
