What I find most disconcerting is in all these posts not a single person says a word of condolence or concern for the Grandma who may or may not be sick, injured, etc.
This is the state of recruiting. This is pathetic.
maybe I am overreacting. I have for a long time refused to pay for recruiting information on a psuedophilosophical stance of not supporting the exploitation of these kids (even though I know that the exposure can be very benefitial to some students). I allways speak out against following kids on twitter, I don't think any grown man or woman should follow a high school child on the twitterz.
I am coming to be disenfranchised, or maybe just discouraged, with the whole recruitnik environment (heck I think it is destroying the high school game at worst and exploiting teenagers at least...
I think I'm gonna stop reading the recruiting portion of this page for a while... but I would love to heare other people think about it...
Note: I am often cheeky, or downright assholeish, but I am being honest here... I wonder what others think.
I don't know how common the knowledge is that his grandmother's illness (I think?) was the reason for the possible cancellation. In fact, it seems like the only reason people know about his grandmother is because of his Twitter feed.
First, no one even knows for sure if his grandmother is sick. Second, maybe it's just assumed that everyone is a normal human being and would feel bad for the family, but since this is a football/recruiting blog, they focus on the football aspect. We don't know the family, and chances are they aren't reading the blog (although I'm aware some recruits have in the past) so an anonymous statement of concern sent out into cyberspace from a guy whos avi says "prepare thy anus" is probably not that meaningful.
edit: somehow response got bumped down
that you described yourself as "cheeky and assholeish"
Based on your avatar, it seems you have something on your mind.
fair enough... but you gotta admit that ewok is funny...
Well, my post on the front page hopes that all is well for him, and that was prior to the details coming out. That has to count for partial credit...?
:)
P.S. sadly, this will likely get you a job as an M sports writer somewhere.
that he's on a plane to Australia.
No, no, no. I will not fall for this again OP. Source it.
This, too, is how I feel.
WHAT THE HACK IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW GASH
This is a clown show. Delete the internet.
Seriously, Mods.
OP is putting daggers through my heart.
I got excited when I saw the changed title and checked 24/7 and twitter...Nothing.
EXPLAIN OP.
We love you Leonard! Have a good visit and eat some BBQ!
Any chance that Fournette commits this weekend? That would be a dream come true.
any more waiting and it'll be more like Fivenette...
....I'll go to bed now
Did Fournette make it to AA?
Any confirmation of this? I can't fnd anything on the Twitters.
What is he, schrodinger's RB?
I believe Ira from Wtka confirmed it.
Webb said on 1050 this morning that Michigan fans shouldn't get too emotionally invested in Fournette's recruitment, that's he VERY unlikely to leave the SEC, that getting him on campus is nice and gives us a "punter's chance", but that it's unlikely this kid will ever wear the winged helmet.
Honestly, I have no idea
I think we got Spartaeed
