📝 National Signing Day - 2018

[Destiny's Child]

Not upset! I understand exactly what these kids are going through. Been in education 24 years, 15 as a coach. If it isn't a parent, it's a coach, or a handler telling them which way to go. But there does come a time that the kid has to make a "grown man" decision and be honest with everyone, including himself. Don't tell both staffs that you are coming. Don't "delay" your ceremony 2 hours to only wait 15 minutes so the A&M beat writer can get there and video you faxing in your LOI.

Agreed and definitely wasnt calling you out specifically on that. Just in general, these kids have poor guidance and don't even understand what the word commitment means. I stopped living and dieing about signing day a long time ago as these kids and the media are just desperate to create a storyline. It's funny how most of the time the ones who are all about the drama end up not living up to expectations.

All of that drama would have been avoided if they had more social grace than a hungry mosquito. Anyone who throws "my sources" out there as if it's something special when it's "my opinion" deserves what they get.

Both these guys got some flak, I agree. Boz pasting an email that wasn't supposed to be public is what ran him off after being told that wasn't supposed to be public. I remember that day clearly.

You have to have thick skin to get into debates on message forums. A bunch of folk get a little upset and run off like you say but they're going to find that anywhere if they jump in with look at me and what I read or know or heard

I know @planomateo and @TerryP and @doemasters are here in the background. What say you?

My take...anytime someone tells you about all the connections they have, it's a sign they're full of shit. Those who have connections don't brag, they don't name drop. Those who don't, name drop and brag.

If you can't take the heat...

Remember Bryce Brown?? What a mess!

But do people not question who your source is when you offer information? "My source" "a source" "my connection" is synonymous with every bit of information put on any site. Name dropping is not always the best for business and I'm in agreement with bragging about connections as I discussed humility earlier, but keeping them anonymous and saying you have a source is not a sign of bullshit in my book. Track record means more to me than any of the other stuff.

Big time!!!

Is there a link or a place we can follow to see the Campbell and Surtain Jr. announcements?

I remember Bryce Brown, Author Brown.. wait I am seeing a coincidence. I also remember Terrell Pryor and Braxton Miller as well as a host of other players like them.. the premadonna thing doesn't help you when you get on campus

Brown was a TAMU commit until around Christmas time. Goes to show what all the speculating, word on the street, crystal ball predictions, and insider info prior to signing day is worth. Often times as much as the sandwich I had for dinner.

Hope the kid is happy there. We'll win without him.

Just my opinion I've formulated over ~44 years. It's proven itself true to in pretty much effort facet of life...at least I've convinced myself of that .

I had no idea you were that old, no offense. Figured mid-late 30's. If this whole Toyota thing works out I'll start noting everything you say and making it my own, .

It's was a mess. I believe some had Brice higher ranked than Trent Richardson. From Bobby Massey to Tony Conners to Aubry Solomon, it is what the cherry picking season has become.

Three rules as I see this:
1) It's a freakin' message board.
2) It's not what you say, it's how you say it.
3) Refer to rule #1.

What a list. Anyone remember Seantrel Henderson in what, 2010?
