Sounds ridiculous considered he's claiming Ole Miss paid him and he didn't even sign with them





Well since they felt strongly enough about his story to totally reject OM response, I don't think LL is worried. And why would they ask him anything that might jeopardize their case? You're saying they spent all those years investigating and building a case to purposely try and discredit him? Really? And make themselves look bad in the process. I don't think you have thought this through. Maybe sit down a few minutes, think about it carefully, then come back here and talk like an adult.

Just out of curiosity, in a moment of honesty, do you believe MSU or its boosters provided inducements to Leo Lewis to go to State?

Sad. If he had just come to LSU we could have avoided this whole thing.

Yes. Supposedly he took money from other schools as well, NCAA doesn't ask about those schools though

What? Why would the COI obtain or even review evidence from a puny little civil suit?

Sounds ridiculous indeed.

You know honestly, there may have been a booster or two that did. That's what happens at most programs. But no program but OM is dumb enough to have a structured plan between coaches and AD! To put players WITH BOOSTERS in order to PAY recruits. With the approval of the HEAD COACH himself! Like they were the Oxford Dixie Mafia! Every head coach stays completely away from that. Except one of course.

That's very much so not the whole story..... But you are so wrapped up in the world colluded against Ole Miss that you are grasping at MSU because they did this to you....


1- Nobody did it to you but your coaches and AD.

2- Lewis is only 1 of the 18 players from various schools that will attend. Why? It's part of the deal they ALL took.

I was just curious. I don't track recruiting closely enough to be an "insider" but I have always assumed most schools throw cash around.

Oh absolutely. I don't know how you view Steve Robertson, heck I don't really know how I view him, but he told the MSU subscribers all along that Leo liked to play the recruiting game and was going to sign with MSU. But, MSU is not under investigation. I know that you know this, but there is a process that the NCAA follows when it's raping a school. As cruel as it sounds, they first have to notify the victim that a rape is coming.

They all do. But feeling get hurt when schools swoop in and take a guy that another school has cultivated for years. MSU was bitter about CJ Johnson. Ole Miss would have been livid if Benito Jones had gone anywhere else. Those guys were taken care of from the 8th grade on.
The truly undecided prized recruit is very rare, imo

I just find it interesting that some fans of different schools, we would have them to under different circumstances, see the situation and say "Finally they are getting what they deserve" when most probably are fans of a school that has similar dishonest things going on. The truth is that their personnel interest isn't driven by integrity but rather by animus toward the enemy.

Obviously the Freeze specific aspect is different as he may proved to be personally shadier than most. I just refer to the fanbase vs fanbase aspect of it.

What makes you think that? He still would have been recruited by them, therefore he would still be asked to come in

Don't be such a douche. The freaking "everybody does it" excuse lol. How about not signing a guy from Chicago that never took an Official to Ole Piss. For frick sake man it's like vehicular homicide while driving drunk and you say "everybody speeds".

You didn't address this question to me, but I think several schools provided him inducements, possibly including Bama.

But I do not believe for a second that an Assistant Athletic Director of any other school organized and strategically placed Boosters with Leo Lewis in order to provide those impermissible benefits.

The very core of the AD, right under the nose of the Head Coach over and over and over again for an extended period of time to the point where a veritable network of Boosters were used to provide inducements to dozens of recruits.

It wasn't just Leo Lewis... it's about 18 players and they will be there too. Ole Miss is just focused on MSU

Wouldn't it be interesting if about a dozen of the "Boosters" had to appear before the COI too?

Don't paint with such a broad brush then. Nobody begrudges the Benito Jones, Tony Connors, Donte Monfcreifs of the world. Those are players that any school would sign. But OM was on them early, and nobody questioned when they signed even though they got plenty of benefits that the NCAA would frown upon.

But then you have 5* recruits from hundreds of miles away who are camped out in Oxford for recruiting weekends filled with cash, burner phones and hookers. That kind of crap was never going to fly

Everyone in major college football cheats. State has their little network of boosters as well. Everyone else is not so blatant with their cheating. You can't act like a madman and have 2 top ten classes when you are a program of Ole Miss' stature and then wonder why the NCAA and everyone else talks about you cheating.
