But are you accusing him of fabricating the quotes by coaches at other SEC schools? I get that nobody likes him and that nobody wants it to be their own schools assistant coaches who said this, but does that necessarily mean that SOME assistant coach somewhere in the SEC didn't utter those quotes? Even a crappy journalist like Thayer would get canned and sued for making up quotes that didn't exist
There are hundreds of assistants in the SEC. It's probably very easy to pick out the ones you know are fools and go get them to say something foolish, and then publish an article that suggests that all SEC schools will recruit in this manner.
Thayer is attempting here to paint the entire conference as a bunch of bigots. Because he is Thayer and thats what he does. Ask Auburn fans. Ask Oklahoma State fans. AsK LSU fans. This man is the posterchild of journalistic trolls.

Good. To quote Alfred Blue "Ain’t no little boys out here between them lines. So if you gay, we look at you as a sissy. You know? Like, how you going to say you can do what we do and you want a man?"

It wouldn't be the first time he fabricated something.

Damn Thayer Evans gets Aubs wound up faster than Auburn legacy going to a rival school.
The guy found a niche and Auburn fans keep paying him.

Well he has been canned on several occasions and has been known to make shite up, so.....

Is this the same dude that said no SEC school would hire Charlie Strong because he's married to a white woman?

Thayer Evans...the one person on earth that gets Alabama and Auburn fans to agree on something...that Thayer Evans is a bombastic useless unprofessional lying troll.

I don't disagree that Thayer sucks and that he is attempting to do what you allude to in second paragraph. But its an interesting and very quick "NIMBY" reaction in this thread.
If the article, even penned by Thayer, named a specific school, lets say Tennessee just as a random example, half to 2/3 of this thread would instead be "LOL your staff sucks Tenn, you bigots, get a new staff, troll troll Tenn sucks screw Tennessee, we are so much classier than the Vols we would never do that but Tenn did cuz they suck, etc etc". There wouldn't be many people saying "oh he's just stirring the pot" or saying he made it up, other than Tennessee fans.
But because it could theoretically be any one of the 13 other league schools with some random dumb assistant who said this, every single poster is on the defensive and downgrading Thayers and questioning the quote's context and in some cases its authenticity.

^^What's funny about your example is Tennessee had Jackie Walker long before Michael Sam came around. We celebrate Jackie so it would be real hard for us to turn around and down Sam.
But I get your point. And I don't think Thayer's making anything up. In fact the quotes on negative recruiting aren't directed at Sam being gay but rather "mizzou covering it up."

If the article was written by Stewart Mandel or Andy Staples this would be true.
But Thayer Evans is a known liar who has been caught making shite up in the past and was canned for it, and then did it again, and then did it again. Everyone here knows who Thayer is and what he is about...that's why we are all in agreement that this article is poo.

I didn't read that article, but can somebody help me out with how other schools will use this as a negative against Missouri in recruiting?

Fair nuff. And I'm on board too with him being a lying scummy POS. I don't know the details of how the Ok State thing shook down except I remember a lot of OSU people running around saying "Hey I never did that/ hey I did not say what it says I said in the article" sort of thing. But there were others in his OSU article who did at least say yes they said what was attributed to them. Its definitely amazing that Thayer still has a job in this business at this point, but my only take is all that being said it doesn't necessarily mean we know conclusively that those quotes are bullsh**. Possibly to probably, but we can't know for sure unfortunately.

Thayer and associates choose not to go into that.
