Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

Poor guy gets fired for doing his job. Heaven forbid that you report something that doesn’t look favorably on the program.

If you have zero evidence for severe accusations, you should be fired. If you have lots of evidence, you should provide it when making those accusations.

They cover up paying players, they cover up and sweep under the rug all of the speeding problems, I’m sure there are plenty of other things they are covering up.

Wapo, nyt, nyp all green light worse things daily. I also wouldn't say there's "zero evidence"

He didn't independently verify that 11 guys stayed on the team after accusations. It could be 9 or 2 or 14 but the issue remains.

How is it "reasonable"? If they don't find one then they'll have to use the portal. It will only be "reasonable" if they don't have guys to fill those spots 3 years from now.

Recruiting HS kids isn't as important as it once was. In fact, an argument could be made that recruiting OLs out of the portal is necessary to have a good OL in the future. Sort of like a professional team that develops its own guys but then gets free agents to go from good to great.

It’s reasonable because we need to be far better than we have been

I don't know if it's true, but I've been told that UGA is the journalist school in the state and the AJC writers are pretty much all UGA grads. But this writer is from out of state. If true, I'm shocked the AJC allowed the original piece to be printed, and I'm not at all surprised the writer was fired.

The KNS probably gives bonuses to reporters who dig up dirt on UT.

Asking, not arguing -

Wouldn’t it be more reasonable to measure success on the field and not by how many guys we land who haven’t played a single down of cfb?

We’ve have had a single good season in 15 years. I’m honestly amazed we get any elite recruits.

Being lax in your thoroughness and due diligence in one area calls into question your entire credibility. That's pretty fundamental journalism.

And no, those publications do not routinely accuse organizations of covering up a dozen instances of sexual assault with little to no supporting evidence.

How so if the end result is a competitve OL 3 years from now?

That's like saying you've lost a 200m race if you are behind at 50m.

Tee Martin implicated in that article. A P5 coach told me in spring and summer of 2020 that recruits were asking for visits to be paid and they told recruits that it was not permissible to pay for visits because of Covid restrictions . Recruits told his staff that Tennessee was paying for visits. Not sure how many teams did this, but we did not keep it quiet.

Got back from a mission trip to Uganda yesterday afternoon. Beautiful place!

They make accusations with little to no supporting evidence. CNN, MSNBC, Fox news, etc. Fundamental journalism is brought out for convenience these days.

That was a great response right there. Thanks again for your insight as always!

So "everyone in the building" are running around screaming the "sky is falling"? Color me doubtful.
