Maybe if your QB has trouble making quick decisions on where to throw the ball you might want to say "just throw it up high in the endzone to the guy who has a 7 inch height advantage"?

I’ll say this about Les.. he was pretty successful even with that vanilla offense he ran. It’s like the other teams knew what was coming and still could not stop it…
Les biggest MISFORTUNE was Rich Rodriquez accepting the Bama job and then changing his mind. Les would have probably won 2 more championships. For sure 2011 and possibly another one without that unfortunate change. So, I always said to myself, it wasn't Saban that stopped LSU from becoming a dynasty, it was that damn Rich Rodriquez.

First thing I would do is have a meeting with the Parents. Get their perspective on this situation. The team has spoken, the coaching staff has spoken, the Sup has spoken, so the parents should have a voice in this also. I would explain to the parents the reason the coaching staff decided to pull the plug on the season. And also, how their child feels about not playing.
Player safety should be your NUMBER 1 priority. After that, I would begin to try to build up the football program by getting involved with the local Jr. High schools and establishing an interest at that level. Elementary also. Build from the ground up. Hope this helps.

I know that he coaches your kids, and you think he is a great person,
Yes this is true, and I am basing this on my own Personal experience with him this past spring and summer.
quote:
Its not out of the norm for kids/parents to hold a coach in super high regards though
This is true also. But, Ive coached AAU basketball for over 2 decades, sent 75 kids to college from my program, 1 made it to the NBA as a 1st round pick. When I release my kids to play for other organizations on the circuit, I evaluate the PERSON first, then the person's coaching ability. I do my due diligence in that regards.
quote:
I want to stress, he may be every bit the person you think he is.
He is
quote:
But there is a world where he is just as slimy/dirty as the people you think he's trying to protect your kids from,
He and his staff did a great job in protecting ALL the kids from some potential slimy handlers. He always notified me when someone tried to approach my kid, he always stepped in and told the person if they don't contact me, then they would have no contact with my kid. So lot's of respect I give him for that.
quote:
and you have blinders on.
Far from that. I can pretty much spot a slimy coach, handler etc. from a mile away.
quote:
I don't want you to take this the wrong way,
I don't and I welcome any feedback from anyone. But I know ALOT of people will be bashing Coach Skip and don't even know the man personally. I'm just letting people know there is another side of him that I saw FIRSTHAND.

Great pickup
It definitely is

very odd dynamics
Definitely so
quote:
if what we read was true.
I can confirm it's pretty much true
quote:
the dad has a good relationship with his son.
This is also true
quote:
our offer was significantly better than others,
IMO, this came down to a shoe company battle. Even though LSU is a NIKE school, it has to be some agreement between the parties involved that Reese will still be able to represent the PUMA brand, the same as Flaujae did when she was here. PUMA put ALOT of money behind Reese the last 2 years.
re: Will Wade Lands Big Commitment From Five-Star PG Reese Alston

quote:
he was hoping to get rich off his son,
I can emphatically say this is NOT TRUE. I can tell you without a doubt that REESE didn't want for anything. Also, on the circuit, it was Coach Skip that took care of the TEAM. Any of the kids, including my kid, that needed ANYTHING, it was taken care of by Coach Skip.
Now whatever happenned after the season ended is a mystery to me because what I saw was a very close knit FAMILY and also a very close knit TEAM.

kip to my Lou can just get over it.
Coach Skip will eventually get over it or get past this.

It was his son's decision, not his.
The mom had as much influence on this than what I seen this summer.
quote:
He had his turn many years ago.
This is true, But I still can understand Coach Skip's perspective in that, he was the one in the gym with Reese since he was 3 years old, he was the one that developed his son through years of dedication. With that being said, I am still shocked at how this all played out from what I witnessed this entire Spring and Summer with the family.

Maryland, North Carolina State and Baylor
I could see him doing Maryland
If he had to choose between those three, Maryland would be the easy choice because of the talent in the DMV area. It's LOADED. That's why James Franklin moved on from Penn State so quickly and accepted the job at Virginia Tech. He can somewhat recruit the talent rich area of the DMV.
quote:
Absolutely Dad and Mom are no together
They definitely were together this whole spring and summer and on the PUMA circuit along with their older son.
quote:
I didn’t see him in pic for commitment
This is the biggest disappointment for me.
quote:
why all the hate for CWW from dad,
This came as a total shock to me after witnessing him and Coach Wade talk after every game doing the live period on the PUMA Circuit.
quote:
he was not really in on decision
The dynamics had to change AFTER the season ended because Coach Skip as I called him, had total control of not only his son but mines and others as well when it came to who was allowed to approach the team.

This times infinity. Tony is playing chess against the SEC. This all will benefit LSU in the long run.

The kid at Calvary Baptist Jamison is better player. He is going to Baylor.
You're saying Jamison is better than REESE????
quote:
Can you explain to me why Reese is so much better than the other guy committed
I was present for pretty much every single game Reese played this spring and summer and my kid played on the same team. IMO, Reese can take over a game from all aspects. The other Guard that is committed is a shooting guard, Reese is a superior ball handler, can get to any spot on the floor he wants too, super penetrator, makes his teammates better.
The other kid, Ive only seen on tv. From what I seen he is not that great of a ball handler, inconsistent jumper compared to Reese. He just didn't pass my eyeball test.
quote:
I’m really asking because I may be thinking of a different player than yall
I think we're talking about the same player. I just don't see a 5 star player in that kid.

His mom has family here and I believe one of her daughters lives in New orleans.
Reese has a brother that lives in New Orleans area.

Reece is a much better player than the other commit Wade just got.
And it's not even close.
quote:
t here's what confuses me, you said earlier that he and his wife were still together and that the whole family was close. His wife accepting back door deals without his knowledge doesn't really match that.
That is what baffles me also. Doing the season, if you would have told me this was going to happen, I would have told you, you're smoking crack. But now that I think about it, I always saw his wife in the presence of Ms. Julie (the head of the PUMA Circuit) quite often. I never really saw Coach Rafer in the presence of Ms. Julie.
quote:
Not saying there's any way for you to really know whats going
Since the end of the season, I can't speak on what happenned to the family dynamics. I know I saw a very close knit family doing the circuit season.
quote:
appreciate the knowledge you've given,
Thank you. I'm only speaking from my very close interactions with Coach Rafer, Reese, and his wife from this spring/summer season.

Some rumors going around , Rafer was offered a job at another SEC school for the commitment of his son
I wouldn't be surprised about this. Some of the things I seen on the circuit this year was an eye opener for sure.
quote:
Dad is mad that LSU didn’t offer the same and Reese wants to play for Wade .
Knowing Coach Rafer as I do, I would say he is more pissed about the supposedly back door deal made by his wife. JMO
quote:
sounds like this is just a disgruntled father
Nawww, at the end of the day, he is a PROUD father. This is based on what I saw and experienced first hand this spring and summer.

Whoa, that’s impressive! Wish them all the best
Thanks alumni. This upcoming spring and summer will be crucial for my boys.

I have a son who’s a college athlete.
Congratulations to you and your boy. I know, whatever sport he participates in you are very proud.

I’m starting to wonder if this is a smokescreen to build hype for the kid’s commitment.
Coach Rafer is a character for sure. I may be wrong, but I just don't see him doing that type of thing just to build the hype.
