This years crazy signing day story belongs to the mother of Plantation,FL RB Alex Collins. Apparently, shortly before Alex was to fax in his LOI to Arkansas, his Mother took them and ran away with them, and no one knows her whereabouts.

Thanks
I appreciate the help.
Updates to the story
Alex and his dad sent in another letter to Arkansas.
But wait...
His mom hired Johnnie Cochran's law firm.......
I feel this story isn't going to be one we're forgetting for a while.
Wow....
That story must've been written by the UM beat writer. "He planned on signing with Arkansas, but he didn't." - Interesting way of putting it that his batshit insane mother wouldn't let him.
She must be out of the loop
She probably thinks John L Smith is still the coach. If Smith was still the coach, I can't blame her.

Some parents just don't know
Some parents just don't know how to let their children grow up. This is an extreme case, but university administrators and advisors run into interference by parents somewhat regularly. Such parents don't listen to their child and insist they know what's best and want to continue acting like they;re signing their kid up for elementary school.

allegedly?
allegedly?
No...
...proven.
While it has been alledged that CRAIG JAMES KILLED FIVE HOOKERS AT SMU, it is proven that he smothered his son to the point of getting Texas Tech's head coach fired. That exact sequence of events may be more alledged than proven, but the slightly over protective nature of his behavior is not.
This thread isn't about me!
This thread isn't about me! Leave me alone. I'm trying to plan a presidential bid and if you would stop repeating that it would be very helpful. Thanks
My advice...
keep some antibacterial wipes in The Resolute Desk (Oval Office) to flush the DNA. Dresses only preserve the evidence.
Oh, and I never believed that YOU KILLED FIVE HOOKERS anyway.

Nice try, imposter. Read my tagline and my username. My full legal name has no underscore in it, obviously. Stop holding yourself out to be me or I'm going to sue you. And trust me . . . I have many very powerful attorneys on retainer and at my disposal.
Yes, THAT Craig James. Allegedly.

Shut your whore mouth!
Yeah
Don't you know what happens to bitches that don't know how to keep their mouths shut around Craig James? Allegedly, nothing at all.
Man, parents. "I know what I want to do!" "Well, good, but forget it. You'll do what I want you to do, and that's final."

...said Craig James as he suffocated #5.
Allegedly.
That's just not true. I
That's just not true. I never suffocated her. I . . . wait . . . NICE TRY! I did not allegedly kill her!
Yes, THAT Craig James. Allegedly.

Karma
It comes full circle though: when the parents are old and in a nursing home, the neuroses and co-dependence they cultivated comes back to haunt them as their children stuff them with ventilators, tube feeds, and drag them in and out of the hospital with every cold symptom. Sad but true.
Really?
I'd just stick them in the cheapest home I could find and call once a year.

I am as happy as anyone to
I am as happy as anyone to see Bielema lose a recruit. I intensely dislike the guy. But that is just wrong for a mother to not let her child make the best decision for his own future. Something seems more than a little amiss here.
This thread makes me want to
This thread makes me want to get up and go visit my mom at the Women's State Correctional Facility. Poor Mom, she was always doing crazy things like hanging out with 800 lbs gorillas and having fake relationships with ND players. To this day Brady Quinn still thinks I'm his step brother.

His mom had just opened
His mom had just opened yesterday's mail and got the cashier's check from ole miss. She just didn't have time to tell him before he went out the door... so she had to pull off some hijinks.
Lost In All This...
"“I would prefer him to go to Miami, too, because it would be a better program for him, a better environment. He could get home faster and it’s more convenient if Mom wants to go to a game — instead of having to fly to Arkansas.’’ - Collins' older brother
It's sad that what is lost on his mother, and to some extent his own brother, is that Alex is the one that will actually be playing football here, and you would think that he would be allowed to make the decision about which program suits him best and regardless of the relative convenience to his family - after all, it's a scholarship. Perhaps ironically, his mother now seems like a fairly good reason to choose Arkansas on top of everything else.

I also have to wonder what
I also have to wonder what kind of uniformed parent would want their kid to go to Miami right now. Golden is a good coach, but the NCAA is about to drop the hammer on them for the Shapiro stuff.
Maybe not given the
Maybe not given the impropriety of the investigative staff. Paying for the guy's defense attorney?
One who wants to go to every home game
I read that his whole family was hoping he'd choose Miami so the could be able to easily go tho home games, the live in Fort Lauderdale area. She doesn't want to fly to watch games. Not sure about the hammer, although I think the deserve it, the NCAA botched one of the easiest investigations and who know if this may result in Miami getting off on technicalities.
Jim
I bet this is EXACTLY why
he wants to put some distance between himself and his over-bearing mother. Her very response reinforces his choice, IMO.

The name of the city is Plantation...?

Yes...
And it surprisingly isn't the most racist city in South Florida. That would be the wonderful city of Davie where I went to high school. You can actually pretend you're in Texas in the 1800s. Not that I'd recommend this, I got the hell out of there ASAP.

Stay thirsty my friends
This is a pretty selfish
This is a pretty selfish thing for his family to do. They all pretty much want him to go somewhere else but HE is the one who is going to actually play there. I say that because it doesn't seem to have anything to do with academics which is pretty sad. I could be wrong but thats what I'm getting from the story.
Despite what the other guy calls himself, my name actually is Magnus.
Two Questions.
Did she run through the "Dong Forest" during here getaway?
Did she show great stright line speed, lateral speed or both?
I'll hang up and listen.
Fuck it, Dude, let's go bowling.
Methinks she wants the scholly for herself
You should have seen the move she put on to get out the door
She was probably going to get
She was probably going to get a huge chunk of money from Miami once he signed with them. I dont blame her.
You guys
It's not what you think at all. It's just that she once had Chlamydia. She doesn't want her son to have to suffer through the agony of hot piss.
Feel sorry for the kid
Though my first thought is to laugh and say, "good parents don't let their kids go to Arkansas," this helicopter mom is causing her kid a lot of embarrassment. If it was me, I'd sign with a west coast school to get farther away from her.
Late to the party but...
I just read the article and noticed a link headline at the bottom of that page that read "Collins headed to Arkansas thanks to his Dad's signature" or something to that effect.
I apologize for the link, I don't know how to fix it. If a mod, or a more learned person in this process could help, that would be great.
