Bama SBNation - Prattville camp was set up for sole purpose of evaluating Dytarious Johnson
After the putz at RollBamaRoll was called out for getting the Dytarious Johnson story wrong, he responded in the most reasonable way possible...
By doubling down on his claim that Harbaugh is evil incarnate.
While my title SLIGHTLY exaggerates his argument, it doesn't do so by much.
What makes this excellent is that instead of a true "light bulb" feel-good story, we have Michigan all but setting up a "camp" for the sole purpose of reviewing players they were considering offering. It was never about having a true teaching camp.The Michigan fans who've given us feedback can be upset about a prior mischaracterized sentence, and that's fine, because in the end the fact that the Prattville junket catered to these kind of targets makes Harbaugh's behavior worse, not better. Finding a diamond in the rough is one thing - intentional obfuscation and shady-as-hell torturing of the rule to turn this "camp" into a specific recruitment visit is quite another.
It might even be an NCAA violation.
There you go. The Prattville Camp was set up to evaluate a single, two-star recruit (since I'm unaware of any others who were nearing an offer) and therefore Harbaugh is dabbling in NCAA violations.
Also, to reemphasize the point, Dytarious was the ONLY recruit who went to this camp because of the coaches telling him he was on the precipice of an offer. So the entire thing was a charade (which included hundreds of athletes, coaches from a number of schools, etc.) to evaluate one possible recruit

Post of the month.
There should be a special +5 button that you can only use once per day, just for posts like this one.
This is the greatest thing ever...!
the whole not getting sick, observing hollidays and being a jackhammer makes sense now.
Ha Ha..so ridiculous! Bet all the other players at the camp don't feel they didn't have a learning experience. Maybe it's an attempt to program perception knowing similar claims in regards to Caleb Kelly are floating around. Conspiracy theory is the only reasonable justification as to why someone would make such a vacuous accusation no?

.......this goes waaaaaay back.
In '06, in anticipation of getting the Mich HC job, Harbaugh placed a talent dampening device that he stole from the CIA (they used it to win "Miracle on Ice") in the Prattville area. This specifically caused all of the SEC and all recruiting services (except rivals) to ignore the most talented football player of all time so far, Keith Washington! This lead him to come up with the idea to have the next greatest player of all time Dytarious Johnson on a visit, but does Jim offer than?
Ha, laughable man.
He "creates" the idea of a "camp" and sets them up all over the big football areas in the country, just so the SEC doesn't realize how "lazy" he is.
Harbrilliant!
This article offended me.
I wonder what are they gonna say next year when SEC will start doing these types of camps too. We all know they are going to remove that 50 mile radius rule soon. Are they gonna change their mind 180 degrees?

I don't have any children so I'm not 100% sure on this, but that baby is actively pooping.
I need MOAR
You know, my father likes to tell people that if you're going to bury your head in the sand as this guy seems to be doing, just remember which part of you is being displayed to the world (as this guy seems to be forgetting). This passage quoted in the OP isn't even a leap of logic - it is bereft of logic. Roll Bama Roll sure knows how to shake its fist at imaginary things.
Aww Yiss I beat you by 3 minutes. :D
Next I'd like to hear about the evils of my greed by Bernie Madoff
about losing a 2* recruit then you know you are doing something right.
You need to share your OP with whoever wrote that article and report back...your OP couldn't be any more spot on. Well done.
I appreciate your kind words Mr. Yost, but arguing with this guy would be akin to bashing my head into a brickwall to soften it.
It's not going to affect the brickwall and my head will just hurt in the end.
Idiots are going to be idiots.
im patiently waiting for Baumgardner to fire back at this clown, Last time Baumgardner wrote about this stuff he got a call from Finebaum who agreed with Nick and had him on his show.
Troll Tide Troll.
How cute.
Call me when Bama fans can do basic math and figure out how 90+ scholarship players become 85 every f*cking year in the last week as guys mysteriously start breaking numerous team rules and suffer career-ending injuries.
NOOOOOOOOBODY!!

The amount of effing himself this guy can go do is gratuitous.
Troll damn Tide.

To Saban and his toadies I ask, Would the Bear or Gene Stallings whine like this?
Wouldn't it be better to take the money it cost to put on the camp and just give it to Dytarious? -- bagman'd
