About CJ Johnson's recruitment. I am sure that nothing will come of it because they don't have Bracky to turn them in, but it is interesting that they are snooping around.
I wonder if they interviewed Scott Lindsey or anybody in the law firm that was rumored to have offered his mama a job.
I was reading on Tigerdroppings- and by the way- hey guys...and they tried to make it sound like this was over some little butthurt State fan turning them in. The NCAA is not going to snoop just because Jim Jones sends them a pic of CJ and a truck. If they are snooping, it came from an at least semi-credible source.
As I said, I think the NCAA has a whole list of things to check on in regards to Ole Miss coming from all over- and this is just the beginning of them "questioning people"
It's one thing if you try to buy Chris Jones or other MSU recruits, but it's another when you start messing with LSU, Bama and UGA.
Since you brought up Scott Lindsey- hasn't that guy been disassociated with them before at least once already?
And Coach- I think you are right. They've pissed off too many of the big boys, but one thing I haven't seen discussed is I'm pretty sure Slive realizes that they turned us in at least through Byron DeVinner. We all saw what happened the last time someone turned someone else in.
The problem isn't buying one player from one of them- the problem is buying a whole bunch of players from a bunch of them in one class.Quote:

One of the most telling things to me about this situation is that they hired the same law firm that is representing A&M/ manziel and kept Auburn and the rented mule out of trouble.
If there was nothing to worry about, then why hire a law firm?
Devinner player; (redacted) got a new car for Christmas. Committed to OM a few months later. Car is in grandmas name. Grandma has kids and other grandkids but only has a Dodge Charge with 20s that (redacted) drives. I guess the other grandkids don't get cars. The NCAA needs to ask granny a few Qs.
we all know it stinks to high heaven and that they pulled a long time 5 star commit at the 11th hour but these bastards skate time and time again. If it was one of the big boys in the league whom they stole him from it would be one thing but with us just recently getting hit, I'm not so sure a damn thing happens to them. What say you? On the other hand, if the NCAA has already been in Philly you'd think they at least had a little something to hang their hats on.
The NCAA is in such flux now...who knows. Damn sure wont hold my breath- but I do like to see the NCAA at least make them sweat a little.
Just like any other "defendant" with a lot of money, you pay your way out of trouble and tighten the screws a little going forward. God why are we (msu) so ****ing stupid when it comes to this.
Now as far as RN goes, he's got his coming and it doesn't have to do with recruiting. It will be out in the open in the next couple of months....gathering info at this point and as you can imagine not a whole lot of cooperation in Oxford.
and people went ape shit on me, saying it was just sour grapes? I posted sometime after he decommitted, but knew just shortly after Egg Bowl that the deal had gone down.Quote:

If nothing comes of it, the biggest annoyance for me won't be the fact itself, but that Bear fans will walk around trumpeting how they were "proven" innocent/clean, and how CJ and Freeze's (no longer) top 10 2013 class were recruited on their own merit.
Not sure if anything comes of it or not, but I bet they aren't gonna pull last year's stunts this recruiting season
Are they even in the running for any high-profile guys this year? aside from Taylor and Hampton
more there?
remember the incident about him getting a truck and reports of his mother getting a job. Then there was the whole "white girls" incident.
Don't expect anything to come from it but if it can be used to spook recruits away from there that's good enough in my book. I hope all coaches from all schools recruiting against them hammer them on the recruiting trail.

But OM is getting attention from some big names. Looks to me like another typical Orgeron/Freeze class. Big on paper.
yeah Rouge, I remember all that breaking...I dont think much comes of CJ- I think the bigger shit is still on down the list for the NCAA
