OT: Tuberville pulled Cincinnati recruits scholarships without telling them
article over at CBS Sports.com with less then a month to go till signing day Tuberville tells current Cincy recruits to "look other places" some have been committed since July. Massillon Head Coach says Tuberville not welcomed at school anymore. Guy is a dirt bag.

I used to feel bad for this guy after the Auburn AD went behind his back to interview Bobby Petrino while Tubbervile was still their head coach. I don't feel so bad for him anymore.

He certainly hurt himself in Ohio especially at a power house like Massillon!

The stupid thing, there is an easy and classy way to handle this. Just tell the kid "Of course we'll honor the scholarship. Also I'm introducing a new system and here are some ideas I had on how you can prepare for it." Said ideas can be a gentle nudge to convey "The odds of you getting playing time in this system are near zero." Then the kids can move on to new landing spot and no one's feelings are hurt.
Just get that message out within a week of your hire so the kids have time to reopen recruitment.

Why doesn't Butch Jones Recruit these kids to Tennessee? He was the previous coach who recruited them, am I wrong? So why not give them a ring and say hey, "I know I recruited you for Cincy, but since [insert "Jack" and "ass" here] revoked your scholarships, I will honor them" as he was interested in them enough to play for him at UC, why not join at UT?

Dude, out of all the Ohio H.S football programs to piss off, you chose Massillon!?
Derp.
Still, Tuberville is getting quite a few new commits into Cincy since he was hired.

No kidding Markusr. I live just a bit north of Massilon and pissing off their coaching staff is NOT a good idea for anybody wanting to recruit in Northern Ohio. Good luck to him.

He coached at Auburn, for one. He physically assaulted an assistant coach, he bailed on recruits at a dinner like a coward, and now this...the actions of a small man. As a young coach he is everything I never want to be. I hope someone puts up 50 on him, and may fate deal him a terrible hand. I hate TT.

Remember, good ol' Tommy doesn't just treat his recruits and players like crap. He makes sure that he treats his assistants the same way as the link below will show.
What a lowlife, classless POS.

I've already checked the Cincin recruiting class, we don't want any of their players. (And not because they're not good, because there best players are all JuCo transfers).
Yup, I'm THAT guy.
