For those of you that said I was negative for not believing what they posted in social media, and calling me out for saying mj was going to flip...... well??? How can anyone believe an 18 year old w a phone. If you do your just plain dumb.

Didn't want em anyway... those guys are obviously low moral**
Yeah. Uh huh.
I don't worry about two kids. These aren't program changers. Hit the portal and get immediate help.
We better stack up on guys that have multiple years of eligibility. Because getting one year loaners really doesn't help us down the road. We're short handed as it is.Quote:

Some people.
Hindsight is 20/20 but I don't think anyone should have been confident in MJ's commitment. He was over the top in saying the "right" things to the media, to the point of cliche, while never ceasing to play the attention game off the record in contrast. I'm not surprised and not going to get worked up about it because, like I already said in another thread, guys who play this game specifically with OM don't pan out far more often than they do. It's becoming a pretty clear pattern at this point.
eta: someone ought to tell our staff to mothball those 100% committed, recruitment shut down graphics for all of eternity.
Any grown man who follows a 18 year old on tweeter is plain dumb.
Exactly! Nothing is complete until the ink is dry(and even then there could still be issues). Heck I've had kids that I've coached and known for years that have changed their minds repeatedly on where they were going from day to day. Happened last week on a kid that I've know for years(he's playing college basketball), he didn't sign with the team who he had been commited to and said he was gonna sign with for months. You just don't ever know which way they're gonna go and then if money and handlers get involved, holy crap!Quote:

I was just about to ask about him - i'm guessing he signed with Minnesota? That sucks.Quote:

JMO
when a player ... take MJ for example, tweets out the 100% committed about a week prior to signing day and then tweets out pics in an OM uniform about 2-3 days later, then I believe an intelligent rational person can pretty much conclude that he was never committed and isn't a sure thing - that is and can be believable.... I PROMISE that our coaching staff is paying very close attention to an 18 yr old's twitter why wouldn't a fan ?Quote:

I am guessing that not getting to visit Minnesota in the winter benefited Minnesota. If he has never been up there then he very well might transfer after one year unless he loves the program.Quote:

This is it and totally doable. But make the most of it. I would imagine there are fewer games to be played taking this option also.Quote:

It's not the end of the world but a big W would've been nice today. Even if we got 1/3 of the guys we lost. We always knew Nabors and Daniels were shaky. Strong was more the gut punch IMO.
during the cold months they drink and go bowling ... I was there at the end of March one year and on the radio they were saying they had 3 days above freezing that month and were talking like it was a record. The plane had to be de-iced twice while sitting at the gate and a third time just before turning onto the runway... When my flight left they closed the airport down behind us - I was on the last flight out that late afternoon and felt lucky to get out of there. Would love to go back in the summer and fish tho but NEVER in the winter again - not even to ice-fishQuote:

Yeah - but we are ok with Canon Boone doing it to VT?Quote:
