'19 GA ATH Owen Pappoe (Auburn signee)

[reeceb73]

Did AV ever give an explanation on Pappoe?

Has he ever explained how he had been mostly wrong so far on his predictions? Maybe he needs bigger sacks of cash to deliver?

This is fun to read like an Eminem rap song.

Better yet, read it like Chris D’elia reading it like an Eminem rap song.

Sorry it has been hectic few days. A lot of really bad beats. But in the end you have to take every shot and just trust what these kids tell you the night before knowing very well we (and I mean WE) may still strike out...that is recruiting in the SEC. I don’t mind any negative folks talking about missing on predictions...I did exactly like I always do....tell you where these kids have told us they were going the night before they sign....if it happens great...it not it is simply part of college recruiting.

Deal here specifically was he wanted to be a vol...told us he was a vol. the barn got in and had conversation with his family. The next thing you know the father and mother are now telling the kid that the family will no longer let him in the house and be a part of the family unless he honors his original commitment. So you see what happens. Truly a sad situation.

Honestly we were on the verge of loosing some thought to be SOLID commits down to the wire that took a LOT of effort to keep committed day of. I am still happy with this class and there are still 2 to 3 fish we are going to throw everything at to keep them solid with their word.

WOW! That is an incredible sad story. What parents threatens to kick their kid out of the house over which college HE wants to play for. I don't care if UT wasn't even in the picture this is just not good how you teach your children how to make there own decisions. Help them, advise them at his age but he needed to go where he wanted to play ball and get his education. just a shame.

 

[Blake25p]

Damn who almost flipped?

Part of me wants to know this also but at the end of the day it doesn’t matter, they all signed.

 

[VFL92]

IF his parents truly told him that they were disowning him and kicking him out of the house and family, that’s the most insane thing I’ve heard in a very long time. I’ve heard some wild stuff with recruiting before, but that would take the cake.

I just don’t buy it. Because as you mentioned, 17 year olds change their mind and tell people what they want to hear. If you can’t trust his word one day, probably can’t trust it the next.

 

[engineerVOL]

I don’t know. Could very well be true but how does that intimate level of detail get out about the fam threatening to disown him? I don’t doubt that theory but come on.

 

[VFL92]

If someone told the same story about a recruit who signed with UT, we’d laugh at them. Not saying AV made it up, but somebody made up that story. It’s too juicy and guilt-driven to make you feel sorry for him.

They had money to lose if the kid came to UT. Hypothetically speaking of course, but what if they put 50-75k in front of the family and said it’s theirs as long as he signs with AU. That’s life changing money for some folks. So I can believe that, especially if Auburn is involved.

 

[SmokeMSJ]

This recruitment summed up in one picture...

I don't really want to know.

We can’t match that? Maybe we didn’t want to. Bravo Sierra. They pulled his heart strings and he stuck with his original word.

He tells Wanya, Wanya tells coaches and staff, coaches and staff tell others...

Other family members can talk, too. And not all of them may have been on board with the final plan.

 

[JacketVol]

Guys, I have seen kids kicked out of homes for many stupid reasons. Nothing surprises me in this world and especially in recruiting. Go Vols.

 

[85SugarVol]

So Auburn told the parents - Here’s the money, but only if he signs.
