Rickea Jackson - Mississippi State Transfer

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.
You are so right! My apologies to pigeons pooping in appropriate places everywhere! I have an account at Wild Birds Unlimited so I hope that will smooth things over.
 
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!

I get it. Question is: Does the prospective client associate the d@mn pigeon with the firm in any way? I really don't know whether in this case Jackson does or does not associate the pigeon poop with the suitor. I guess the best way to look at it is: Better safe than sorry - don't send out a negative tweet at a recruiting target of a school that you've publicly endorsed. If we lose this recruit over this, I'll be just as angry, but I don't see how Jackson makes the association, orif she does, thinks anything other than that he is a basketball crank.

Again, as previously stated, she makes the association bc he went back and messaged her AGAIN, making sure she knew who he was and who he "represented" and to "apologize". It's all worth nothing to him if he doesn't get full "credit". He makes sure they get the association bc his real deal is to hurt the program who won't "hire" him, plus the other creepier part.

There is zero possibility that he's sorry about all this. Total BS that this was an ill-advised tweet which he immediately regretted. Not at all how he operates. This was intentional recruiting sabotage plus desperate attention-seeking.

Hate to even contribute to this but I’ve gone round and round with Jumper on this before.

It is odd for someone not involved with an NCAA D1 program to contact these top recruits on social media over and over. What are you trying to get out of it? You aren’t a representative for UT, and as others have posted, trying to actively recruit for the program is a huge NO NO from the program itself.

They need us to show up to games, buy tickets, cheer for the team, make positive posts, even post constructive criticism etc. They do NOT need us to recruit. In fact it can really only confuse the process and bring harm when fans get involved.

I do hope she or her mother read this board and have seen others responses. I for one will be happy for Rickea wherever she goes. I’ve really enjoyed watching her during her time at MSST and have no doubt she’ll make major contributions and big plays no matter the school she attends. I’ll still watch her regardless.

Lady Vols in the Sweet 16 and looking at bringing a really solid team back, plus Powell. I think Rickea would fit right in and have the time of her life next season if she is to choose UT. Of the schools she has visited us and Texas are the only ones still kicking and I think both teams have a lot of upside for next season.

I rarely participate in facebook, and am not on any other form of SM, so I don't have any personal knowledge of what he did in the second contact. But if he did indeed contact her a second time, as you say, and wrongly claimed that he represented UT, then that is cause for an uproar against him. If, as you claim, he mentioned he was a fan of UT or mentioned the LV program specfically in a second contact, that's a stupid and damaging thing to do. If he causes a recruit to fail to come to UT because of poor judgement in contacts, then he should be ostracised on these boards. Hopefully, the UT staff will calm Jackson down if she is upset and associates him with UT. Hopefully, she is not upset and does not associate him with the LV program. I'm hoping there was no damage done.

I share your hopes. Nobody knows what he said in his attempts at direct contact with the young woman,only that he did attempt to contact her more than once. That in itself is troubling.

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.

Are they now saying that she is leaning LSU? As the world turns guess we'll find out soon. She would be the main player at LSU next season they are losing over half the team. No one really knows what her ambitions are guess we'll find out when she is ready to tell us. I am still going with Texas,
 
Makes me wonder how many more of these over-involved nosy nancy sideline coaches programs have to put up with. Where there's one roach there's many . . .

Why would he do it? Past incidents have shown signs of "any attention is better than no attention". I'm curious how we came to know about the tweet in question. I guess someone on twitter who's also on this board saw it? I ask bc I would not rule out this guy from having arranged it himself. Loves himself a thread all about him!
He’s narcissistic for sure, I’m almost certain that I stated it a while ago. That being said I’m not one to keep kicking a man while he’s down, even if he caused it upon himself. Hopefully the lesson was learned. I doubt it but hopefully 🤞🏾
 
It's not boring
I really hate to give this any attention at all, but in the interest of your insatiable desire to create focus upon yourself, narcissistically affirmed…nvm
It def ain’t worth my wisdom…other than to recommend you seek out counsel beyond yourself. A serious mentor, accountability partner or therapist… to review not just the accusations presented on this board, but focused on your response to this community.
