A few years back a player KU was recruiting hard was playing at a HS for an away game. Some KU fans who were part of a officially recognized fan club of KU went to the game wearing KU gear. After the game they approached him and the reports only stated they told him great game and hoped he would come to KU. But it was deemed by the NCAA that the fans were boosters due to their association with the club and being season ticket holders. Hence they acted as representatives of the school and caused a violation that prevented the recruit from signing with KU. I will see if I can find the article. It was like 5 or so years ago.

Based on what I have seen out there, mostly rumors, I think Hootie has some academic concerns.

My guess is on the visit the staff found out he is not going to be an EE. Which is based off the rumor he will not now and announce near NSD. Meaning any financial paperwork signed is null and void since it was for the spring. Neither UA or LSU now obligated to sign him which goes along with the BBI guy.

This would also go along with the B Harris tweet which is:

quote:

Heard one of Monroe players may be ineligible to play at Bama


He never said UA commit just a player from Monroe. Which could be taken as Hootie is no longer eligible to be an EE for UA or for any school.

Again just speculation until we here more but it is all pointing in that direction.JMO

I don't believe for a second this is a result of him having some improper contact on a visit.

The NCAA isn't laying in the bushes on campus, and I really doubt the compliance staff reports to anyone other than Saban.

I'd be more likely to believe kiffen put the idea in his head. I don't believe that either.
