I typed a lot of what I know about the whole situation out, then read it back (ah the memories) and decided to delete
Conn didn't have as much contact with OM's staff as he did with his teammate at Bama and roomie Clemson HC Dabo Swinney
But Conn constantly gave A LOT of people false hope about RN and our staff got too comfortable I feel and had they been handed the truth with a lot of the stuff that happened they would've had more than a snowballs chance in hell that in hindsight seems like the case.
There's obviously a lot more to this story than meets the eye and by the time OM got heavily involved (from the surface view, although I was told over last Summer by a Miss St alum who has a lot of connections in the state of Miss that he was going to ended up at OM at which I scoffed at the time and told him he was crazy, now I listen to him haha) I think Conn was way less involved and it was mostly his parents
But I'll say this, a lot of these recruits have HCs whom the parents trust because they have the experience with the recruiting process, and they should. It is the HS coaches duty to handle the recruiting process for the kid, they trust them, and Conn basically mishandled the crap out of it.
It is the reason the Mom got more involved and he at the end of the day ended up with his big brother at OM
