What do you mean by, "recruit hard"? What does that mean?Quote:

AJ got a down payment and a promissory note. It'll be interesting if om honors those promissory notes after the sanctions are handed downQuote:

If thats the case I am sure he got the WTH text from Hevesy.Quote:

They already had balls of steel. They didn't fire a single coach EVEN THOUGH they admitted wrong doing by their assinine coaching staff.Quote:

Leo is the only one we have ever had do something like this. It's not like we are stealing kids out of Oxford high nor would we if they had someone talented enough to get.
They passed the point of no return so might as well go all out until they're hammered. No reason not too.Quote:

I'm not saying they have to call him anything but congratulating them on committing to your rival? Cmon man. I hope it's not I mean I want us to land Willie but this shit has gotten out of hand.Quote:

Last year maybe, but with the NCAA certainly watching every step they take....in our backyard....two years in a row....I'm having a hard time trying to believe that one. The timing...why now? Why not on signing day when it's definitely over and you don't have to worry about MSU coaches coming back at you for the next 8 months? Not to mention fans.
Another theory that comes to my mind, but I still have trouble believing this one too....we and the NCAA put him up to this to get behind enemy lines to get intel.....surely OM ain't this stupid to show him the goods, etc.
This is just strange all around. And now I'm thinking....unless OM has figured it all out since the investigation and they know they have an iron clad way of doing business now that can't be penetrated. Somebody smarter than me is gonna have to figure this one out.
Leo Lewis 2.0?
It tears me up as a State fan to see a highly rated Starkville player committ to UM, but I just went to Nafoom and most of them are saying, it's June and a long way to National Signing Day. I read with much interest about UM's troubles on this board and seem much accurate info and hope more comes true. BTW, if people know AJ got a new Charger, shouldn't be pretty easy for the NCAA to know about it and if he's getting $315 K shouldn't that be easy to track? If UM is cheating that openly and badly, nothing will stop them but USC or even SMU type penalties.
Gotta admit this has an odd feeling to it. Something just doesn't seem quite right.
What the **** is going on? There is no way you can justify this move unless motivated by illegal incentives. Even so, we have our heads up our ass continuing to let it happen. This bullshit should be dealt with immediately.
I'm not either. I know it's a cliche thing to say, but it's a long way from signing day. Everybody on their end is starting to settle down, too, thinking the NCAA thing is coming to a close because all is quiet on that front. It's still business as usual for them, if not more so now because they don't have anything to lose. You think they have stopped because the NCAA is probing them? See Tunsil....Quote:

Hevesy no longer recruits golden triangle.Quote:

We've been getting the brakes beat off us by UNM on the field and in recruiting. We had better hope the NCAA does something or we will be a distant second in-state football program. Understand...this does NOT help our recruiting efforts to call this a possible flip. These are the guys that need to be committing now to set up a good deep class.
This is not a good sign. This troubles me.
I think I've seen this movie before
