Rickea Jackson - Mississippi State Transfer

You honestly think Amb is not a Tennessee fan? This is laughable. His posts always seem extremely fair and accurate for the most part. Geez, some of our “fans” are delusional in calling so many posters out. Really making me consider no longer reading this board.

Amb calls it as it is without the orange colored glasses. I've been transparent at the very beginning that I am a SC fan/Alum but Tennessee was my second favorite team. I try not to be to critical and don't post everything that I think because of that fact.
 
I wish someone would comment on Rickea's photo and let her know that Jumper is not affiliated with the university at all and never will be, but then it would shine the light even brighter on negativity... Sounds like someone who thinks he's someone in the college circuit because he coaches high school girls lol smh . If UT needed his 2 cents they would have offered him a job and that's obviously never going to happen especially after this cry wolf performance.
I did….in a roundabout way.
 
Oh! I guess I was thinking this season was her COVY. I have no idea why I had that stuck in my mind except that it seems like she has been in college for 10 years. 😂
 
Chile the board will go on

Chile I know and don’t care. Just saying no one on this board can define or dictate what a fan is or who is or who isn’t a fan. It is not up to you or anyone else. You have no right to define it as such. I mean if you would love this board to be governed and dictated as Russia and China do their media then so be it. Have fun not accepting differing opinions chile.
 
I’m hoping Rickea does the math….Tennessee sweet 16 without our best player [horston] minus LSU losing the in the 2nd round versus a Texas team that Tennessee beat in the regular season not even full strength regardless of the S16 results. We were on ESPN prime time tonight before the UCONN game speaks volumes !!
 
I just can’t imagine why any adult would think reaching out directly to a recruit or potential transfer would be appropriate.
If I were a member of the LV staff I would be beyond furious. Talk about clean up duty.
Can’t begin to wrap my head around this. Just so deflating.

I'm going to sorta defend CJ here. Not that I think what he did was a good idea, but I don't see how it is bad for UT recruiting. Does the young lady who received the tweet even know who CJ is? How and why would she know who he is? He isn't a nationally know coach. Why would she associate him with the LV program? I don't associate him with the LV program. He's just a man who claims to be a basketball coach who works in Tennessee and is a fan of UT. There's probably a million wannabe coaches out there that send her messages. She's prolly wondering "whoTF is this?"

The attention his tweet is getting here is a reaction as if he is either on the UTLV staff or is heavily associated with it. A little research on her part will show he is neither, that he (crudely) speaks for himself, not UT or it's fan base. He's just a private citizen giving his opinion. She prolly thinks he's a grumpy old man, not unlike many others who tweet criticisms at her. I can only imagine the negative stuff she and every other recruit gets on SM. For her, this is probably akin to just another drop in the ocean.

If I felt the way CJ does about her 'grandstanding', then I would never have texted her directly to express that. That is inappropriate, in my view. It's a poor decision on his part, but the notion that it would hurt UT recruiting is a bit far fetched, don't ya think?

So here is a parallel I see. You have been working months to get a big deal done. The client is on his/her way to your office. This could be the meeting that seals the deal. Every thing needs to go right. Best conference room is cleaned and ready. You have clients favorite water/soda in the fridge, best suit on, sent limo service to airport to pick him/her up. Limo drops him streetside and just as their are walking up the steps a pigeon sh…s on their shoulder. CJs post was the pooping pigeon. Now, it may not kill the deal but IT DOES NOT HELP!!
Obviously a little humor there but recruiting is highly competitive and you don’t need random birds messing up all your work!

Exactly. The real coaches need more headaches from wannabes?

If it was only another old grump with an itchy twitter finger, I'd agree. I'm sure RJ has and will see many of these and probably dismisses them for the garbage heap they are.

However, this is more. There's a disturbing and persistent pattern here that includes unwanted contact that has gotten the attention of the UTAD before.

How does she know he's "associated" with the LVs? Read his posts. He tweeted her again and told her, and "apologized". See above re repeated attempts at contacting players and to draw attention to himself. There's a desperate need for personal involvement with players and the process that is way, way over the line. Again.

The analogy is apt. I'm going to try to stay jocular, so don't take this too seriously.

A pooping pigeon—in the wild—is part of a healthy ecosystem, though pigeon poop can be pretty damned disgusting, especially at an indoor celebration banquet where a pooping pigeon is clearly out of place.

When many kind, casual observers remind the pigeon that it might be better for all concerned if the pigeon were to go back where it belongs, outside, the perpetually petulant pooper pigeon persists. “I'm a professional pooper, and I fully intend to keep right on pooping and pissing where and whenever I pooping please!”.

There's a time and place for pigeon poop, and times and places where it's nothing but
airborne $h1t.

thank you Al. No one knows the extent of my reach per person I converse with. As stated I have been unofficially connected to this program for many years, so yes I am considered a good source. Not only to this base, but to other team entities too. My purpose is not to recruit it is to be a source of information and an outside contact for the people I connect with. For instance, there are recruits who follow me bc I retweet the pertinent tweets from several TN sources and they can stay updated on everything TN with one site... One family I told where to get the best bbq (Sweet P's on Maryville Pike),,,another family member wanted to know the best path into Dollywood... I communicate with them about many things. I know everyone here thinks of me as invasive and interfering, but I play a valuable role in the process for some of these folks,. If need be I can get in touch with more than half of the team or they can get in touch with me. I know this makes people nervous but it has been my role and I have navigated it well up till now.

I can do what I do bc I have avoided any potential of a booster role. So I do not fall under those restrictions. I shouldn't have used a "public path" for Rickea and I apologized for embarrassing myself, the org, and possibly herself. I screwed up royal and have felt the wrath of not only this site, the org has scolded me and so has the family connections I have...SO I have been getting it from everywhere (and as well I should)...Re Rickea, if she did read my DM's she knows that I would love to see her in a TN uniform, just like most of us here. I established that early.

People,
nothing I can say will give me the clean slate,,,I know this. But nothing has changed for me. I am still 100 behind TN, Coach K and the athletes both here and being recruited. I will try to handle my "role" more professionally moving forward...But quitting what I do is not in the plan....There is still a road ahead of us to follow and I'm still in the car (right now anyway)

Then for the love of God just STFU!

Man, for the millionth time, you have no "role" except the one you dream up. Please, please STOP or find another program to fantasize and victimize.
I screwed up royal and have felt the wrath of not only this site, the org has scolded me and so has the family connections I have...
Here's the worst part. Far from the first time you've been asked by org and families to cease and desist unwanted, improper contact.

I fear you won't stop until you're led away in handcuffs.

Leave it to you to embellish...I never said that...But then again, you are glv and I am hated by you and expect your puny attack.....so cute
 
Well of course YOU didn't say that about yourself. But its well known.

I don't hate you, and that's one of the major differences in our approach to our fandom. I take nothing personally and mean nothing personal and do not desire or pretend to make any of this personal with the LV players or organization. You, on the other hand . . .

I'm going to duck out on this now bc it makes me livid and bc its way too serious and important, plus way beyond our ability to solve. We have been down this road several times.

Your “unofficial” connection to the program is in your own mind. I sent your despicable Tweet to the LVs. You are definitely not viewed in a good light by UT!

This dude is a classic stalker. He rationalizes, plays the victim when confronted, fantasizes about being powerful, and simply can't walk away from the target of his obsession. It is distrurbing as hell. Like other stalkers, there is not a lot anyone can do about this pathological behavior until it is too late.
