Mom is so upset that her son picked Florida she walks out on him during signing letter of intent. Damn Mullen! I guess she wasn't impressed with the Jordan shoes you wore to the house.

Whats crazy is that he finally won a hat battle. Mom was obviously pissed her high paying Bama job was no longer happening
I saw the video. That was brutal. I felt really bad for that kid. Should?ve been his big day and Mom gets up and walks out on national tv. That was cold.
Cold blooded. She obviously missed a big payday.Quote:

Florida will recruit itself enough to finish 2nd in the east, 3-4 overall in the sec, and 2nd in the state to taggert at FSU. Unfortunately for Mullen, he cannot lose to Georgia, FSU, and not make the sec championship. He has to get better recruiters to last at Florida imoQuote:

Tee Shepherd comes to mind and this must be pretty common every year for many recruits. The only upside for the recruit is getting a full ride to any of these schools is a good deal.
But the bottom line is that vid is a major indictment of NCAA enforcement in general and the result of their own malfeasance.
We aren’t doing anything. Terrible parents are being terrible parents because they are terrible people. Stressful situations doesn’t build character, it reveals it.Quote:

Somebody posted (jokingly, I assumed) that the mother was angry with her son because he had screwed up her job at Alabama. Has that morphed into the job offer being a done deal? Seems a little over the top to me. They're not Ole Miss ....Quote:

That would make an excellent"out" gif
Yes they are. There just better at it and Bama sells. Largest fan base. And rest of country will tune in just hoping they'll get beat. Bama won't get busted while Saban is there.Quote:

Buddy of mine was at the UGA big donors signing party tonight in Athens with the coaching staff. Said a couple of the coaches were laughing about how with Richt and Mullen in Florida now the gates are wide open to pick the State clean.
I know who you are referring to when you say “we”. I don’t give a shit what someone has offered you. When your child is on national tv and you do what that idiot mother did today you are a piece of trash. You can try to sway your child before that moment, but don’t ruin his once in a lifetime moment by being an idiot on national tv.Quote:

Well, UGA pulled 2 4* CB from Miami, a 5* CB from Ft. Laudersale, and Dalvin Cooks’ 4* Athlete little brother from Miami- and I don’t ever recall UGA getting that much at one time out of South Florida.Quote:
