was more of a "our staff didn't make him a priority." Which seems somewhat true. (I think he is going to be very good, similar to Kenyan Drake, but what do I know?)
All I'm hearing is "You're right Weagle"

Our fans liked him a lot. And we didn't call him a character risk when he went where most thought he would.
You weren't in it for him so I'm not sure how it applies in this case.

could have said he "lied to the coaches" or any of the other excuses typically used by the losing team in a recruiting battle.
Actually now that you mention it I do remember y'all being butthurt about that. Making my point for me.
quote:
I don't
Well it definitely happened
quote:
In any case, none of those guys were called headcases or had their character brought into question during their recruitments. Therefore, it is disingenuous to say that we are only calling Askew a character risk because he is a highly recruited player spurning Bama
I wouldn't say none but I also wouldn't say all.
I don't know much about this guy so I can't really have an opinion on him. Y'all do have some history of exaggerating in this area in the past so I can't completely defer to your judgment.
In any case, I don't think being butthurt about a school not offering you makes you a "headcase". You see that all the time from very successful athletes. There's guys in the pros who seek revenge on every team that didn't pick them in the draft. Draymond Green (although not the best example for saying someone's not a head case ) can recite every team that did not pick him in the draft and who they picked instead of him from memory.

Certainly you see the difference between our staff not making a kid a priority and calling the kid a headcase
