If this had been a 4 or 5 star kid I would agree it's a poor thing for Jones to do. It certainly wouldn't do himself any favors going forward as far as keeping his name clean and trying to get other jobs.

But since this was a 3 star guy and what "appears" to be a not highly recruited kid, I ask myself is he doing this for the benefit of the kid thinking that another staff may not see the potential in him and giving him the chance he was giving him.

If a 4 star kid comes out and says the same, then I'm solidifying my stance on Butch being childish about the whole thing. But if this was the only kid he did this to, then I can't make it a slam dunk against Jones.
