Sorry if Stalingrad but Kellenberger opens his article this morning with "In some ways what happened Friday should not be all that surprising, and not just because a handful of coaches who lost out on Malik Newman were willing to share the news of his commitment to Mississippi State before he was."
Did some coaches get their feelings hurt and leak out to Parrish and others? Seems juvenile if so...
Ole Miss.
It was definitely Ole Missus.
How about the last sentence of that article? He just can't help himself. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but comes across as we have a complex.
Kennedy leaked it to steal Newman's thunder. What a jerk.
AK visited earlier this week. Malik did the appropriate thing and told him his plans. This is how he was repaid for his honesty.
Horatio should go have an international incident with AK over that.
UM was in full damage control mode.....their is no question that someone leaked it.
Who cares, it was still a great day and UM still can't handle getting beat
I love it when rebels burn bridges.
Why, rather HOW do people associated with UMiss always get away with behavior like this? It seems like every year there's more than one incident that involves their leadership throwing professionalism out the window and acting like spoiled 6 year olds. Kind of like Freeze telling Brown that he feared for his soul if the went to State. Or Freeze almost trading blows with a fan after the TAMU game. Or even hiring PIs to investigate Sherrill. There's really no telling how long that list could be.
Their leadership acts just like their fans: spoiled douchebags that kick and scream when things don't go their way.
Therefore BossDog, I am in agreement, and as in anything in life or business, if management, parents, school and community leaders, and/ or the one's in "charge" take the high road ( maturity and being leaders); then the masses will follow suit. But at TSUN, it will never happen. The immaturity of the AD and Coaches, coupled with their lack of standards and integrity, creates the same environment they've always had. They will never rise above, but only to try to lower the bar.
Cue: the Voice of Reason
Here's how I want it to be handled- Malik goes off and scores 30 on them in Oxford and we kick their ass on the court.Quote:

What ****ing conspiracy are you talking about? All I said was I'd be surprised if AK or someone on the UM staff wasn't AT LEAST ONE of the sources cited by Parrish- meaning there were probably one or two others too.Quote:

Newman had visits scheduled with State and Ole Missus. He called Kennedy and told him there was no need in coming- he was going to State. 30 minutes later Parish leaks where Newman is going. Rocket science deciphered.Quote:

Never said you thought that, just said I didn't think it was some big conspiracy that some believed. Parrish didn't write some story for AK's sake, he just wrote a well sourced and correct story.Quote:

Source close to Malik Newman's recruiting just told me Newman has already signed scholarship papers with Mississippi State.

I'm not really sure what the big deal here is, to be honest. This kind of information is leaked before the official announcement all the time in recruiting.
Everyone already knew what he was doing anyway, and he got his moment. Maybe it was Ole Miss who leaked it, but who cares. Acting as though it had some kind of impact makes it meaningful, when it wasn't.
