How Hugh Freeze describes NCAA investigation to recruits

Submitted by OwenGoBlue on

Quote from a recruit below:

 

“Well, Coach Freeze told me when you’re that big and out there with faith in Christ, he’s like, ‘What do you expect? Jesus got nailed to the cross.’ So, he was just telling me sometimes things like that happen, but that’s never going to change how he’s going to treat his players and take care of them. Even if — I don’t know if he really did make the mistake, doing what he did or not — but I can just tell he’s a good person, great person."

For the ones who are not religous. Bible says satan turns words around to make it sound like god said it. Bottom line is FREEZE is a FALSE PROPHET and KARMA is a BITCH!

"And then Freeze said to them this parable: A consensus 5-star recruit came to the coach Looking for a suitcase full of cash For he had heard that the coach could hook him up. The coach was under investigation by King Enseedoublay, So he found himself unable to meet the recruit's demands. Now, the coach had a beautiful, compliant, charitable host Who gave the recruit powerful feelings in his loins. The coach did not want to lose the recruit, So he offered the services of the host to the recruit instead. While the host was busy with the recruit, The coach's assistants dutifully recorded the meeting Which occurred between them. Amen, I say to you, the recruit was both satisfied And suddenly bound to the coach." Rebels 2:5-12

just a bit more shameless by making the direct comparison.

Urban Meyer had his "bible studies" at UF while half his team was pillaging the campus, committing holy acts from sexual assualt to murder.

Dabo plays the Jesus card for Clemson recruits and families.

College football programs are very much a reflection of their coach and are in a sense a cult of personality.  When you are an inauthentic personality, morally bankrupt, and can't sell your own integrity, it would make sense to turn to Jesus and religion as a crutch...something pure to sell that many families and recruits can identify with.

To be fair, Jesus is under investigation for possible provision of impermissible benefits to Lazarus. Probably just a secondary violation though.

I wonder what the average IQ is for some of these kids he recruits. I'm usually sensitive towards youth, but you'd have to be dumb as bricks to believe half the shit that man says.

That has nothing to do with my point though, lol.

At Ole Miss they pay under, over, around the table. They kick the table over and just hand you the money at Ole Miss.

 

...my point is exactly what I said, how dumb do you have to be to believe that shit he says? And not saying the kid in the article believed it - although it kind of reads like he did.

But who hears that recruiting pitch and goes "Oh I want to follow this man, he's like Jesus."

Obligatory.
