WOW. The same sh*t happens every single time there's a bud publicity event at MSU. We look bad to the media, look like we are going to stick to our guns, then immediately cave to the pressure. I understand it's a bad situation, but come on....

Wow, that tanked our recruiting class. We are now 13 of 14 in SEC.
That site is and always has been an anti MSU site.Quote:

He is released from his letter from us. He can go wherever he wants to go. We have no say Now someone said he may be unable to go to a SEC school because of the financial aid papers he signed with us which I hope is the case.Quote:

No contest.
Brooks is a 4 Eli is a 2. Their p/t isn't related. More like Datcher & Brooks would've been fighting for minutes.Quote:

It still frees up minutes regardless and Eli can play both the 2&3. i.e. slide Kegler/Stapleton to the 4 and play Wright at the 3. He doesn't have to play the same position for it to free up minutes for Wright when you move a different player to the 4. You suck at tetris apparentlyQuote:

Full release was granted and we are very interested. I'd be surprised if he doesn't end up a Tar Heel.
Feel bad for the kid. What his dad did to him was unreal. What a POS!
What is the story? I heard something along the lines of his dad was told he would no longer have a job if Garrison didn't sign with MS ST.
From what I have heard is that his dad told him that he had to sign with MSU or he would lose his job. Absolutely terrible spot to put your son in. Also, his dad signed his LOI and wasn't his legal guardian! So, the guy is a waste of space in my book.
Dad was strongly urged to make sure his son committed.
Dad was the only staff member retained when Howland took over.
Garrison told everyone he was picking Unc.
His mom claims his dad signed the LOI on behalf of Garrison
Garrison cried at his announcement ceremony
Well, if someone gets a copy of the LOI, then we will know the truth. If his dad signed it, then he wanted to go to Carolina. In all honesty, if you are basketball player, where are you going to go, Carolina or MSU? It's a no brainer.
Auburn pulling any strings here?
Hate it for dad more than anything else, but we don't want these kinds of problems in the locker room and coaches' offices. Best to cut bait and move along. I would've held out longer if I were Howland just to put more pressure on whoever threw momma a bone, but maybe we've already got plan B in place for his replacement.
I would have put restrictions on where he could go. No SEC or ACC school. Maybe throw a few more in there. Let him sign with Oregon or Washington and mama can stay up late and watch him on tv.
He's signing with LSU todayQuote:

By staying mum on the matter until within a couple of months of him actually heading to MSU she not only made sure we lost Garrison but also have little to no options to replace him. Well done Mom, well done.
I think that was the point.Quote:

UNC fans are worse than UK fans. Having lived in both states, the pretentiousness is strong in both though.
Isn't UNC under a NCAA investigation?
Yep, for Academic fraud.Quote:

There will always be misses when you're dealing with 4-5* egos in college basketball. Nobody bats perfectly when every kid thinks they are the next Steph Curry. Losing Brooks is not a bad thing. Quote me.Quote:

Yes because UNC is the GOLD Standard of how to run a clean program....WTF How in the hell can this fanbase throw stones when they are about to get pounded for Academic fraud??Quote:

Pretty clear that he did want to play for his Dad if his Mother would have allowed it. He made that clear when HE signed the NLI with MSU.Quote:
