Ok I gotcha. I figured he was a lean just because he was from Stark, but like I said he's a drama queen and arrogant anyway. He fits right in in up there, there's no doubt about that.Quote:

I wish the kid well, but he’s got a real uphill climb to be successful.
There is far more variables that decided success other than size, speed, and strength.
Arrogance is a positive factor in predicting future athletic success. It’s why Malik Heath will be a studQuote:

Have you seen how some of our defensive guys are loving that Malik Heath is coming? Jonathan Abram on twitter was saying they were gonna have this "special group" in hush mode. I love it because I think it will make our db's better having to go against these guys everyday.Quote:

Does it exude arrogance when you allow people to talk you out of your commitment & you don't even tell your mother? Was he ashamed, is that why he didn't tell his mother or level with her?
Just some things to consider.
We'll see soon what Fabian Lovett is made of. His decision will tell us a lot about the kid & what the odds are that he succeeds.
Rawlings ought to kiss Mullen's ass every day. Only one that saw his potential. Offered him early and OM wouldn't look at him. Then they had a guy take the money and run and were left with a spot a couple days before signing day. Then they offer Rawlings. Had State not offered, they wouldn't have had a clue who he was.Quote:

AJ was never committed to State, and was never going to be, despite many on here saying it was a sure thing.Quote:

Mainly because they didn't have real confidence in themselves and/or drive to become better. There are many who are arrogant who succeed because the have the other real traits that allow them to be successful but arrogance by itself doesn't guarantee that at all.
My impression also. I think it was The Logan guy on Bounds show Wednesday but.... I heard one of their people saying we flipped this guy here and flipped that guy there..... it was as if the value of the recruit was determined by the school from which they flipped the player. There was absolutely no detail of why the kids changed their minds and choose OM....it was all to give the appearance of superiority to the others schools and led the listeners to believe that as well. They are just a bunch of pretentious lying DBs...Quote:

That list and what happened to them should tell you all you need to know about what OM is.
Some AH coaches with bearshark loyalties (gone now) got to him early and often. Plus a lot of BenjaminsQuote:

And yes, I know Johnson took money, as do most of the good recruits. He still would have ended up at State had those coaches not left. He'd have been a much better player.
Brown was going to Alabama. Ole Miss simply paid him enough not to go.Quote:
