OT: Recruiting with John Farley

Submitted by Space Coyote on

For all those in tents and purposes, stick with my a sec.

Let’s head back to when Deion Redman was recruited. You remember him sliding by C-bus stopping into Hardee’s on his way down 80 looking to split down to 71. Deion wasn’t a normal big time recruit. Most of those guys are pre-madonna’s and can strut sitting down that stop Dave and Sandy from being in on “the drop”. Deion wasn’t like that. I bonded with Deion early on for whatever reason and he wouldn’t lie to me. When every Chuck, Dan, and Charlie were up in arms on Rivals, Scout and Phil Steel and nobody knew which end was the head and which end was the tale, Deion was a straight shooter. The weekend on “the beach” that all those “we’re gonna burn this league down” happened, I wasn’t worried. One reason. Mom trusted truth-tellers. She was all gurgle and no guts. So you get that prayer group that had more twists than a pretzel factory, oh by golly by golly it was slicker than a boiled onion. So it turned her off. Don’t confuse the script, she sang her hallelujah, but she never did like Bon Jovi. And Brother Ricky, didn’t take care of Bubbles either. But look at his mom and Don’s face. He knew he was not impressing mom and he had no chance. So Mike Robinson called me and we exchanged some thoughts and I tweeted out that he committed before he could commit at his ceremony. I got a lot of flak from the twit-hards (thanks Ron Goldman and @IHartBeenieBabies), but that’s the problem, you know, this recruiting businesses want to take a kids moment but I never did believe it doing that. So they are all at his ceremony. I’m not there, not because I’m scared. But I already tweeted my thoughts. The services should remember that.

Anyway, I started hearing rumors of what went on at the caf. Even went down there to check it out. The food changing hands was so expansive it could eat a monkey’s uncle. Especially in the wash room.

Again, credit cards go in wallets.

I had several people question why a Wolverine would work for a Buckeye recruiting site. And the answer is a simple one. I owe three baby mama’s child support, I owe Tony or else he’s gonna break my knees, my own mama jumping down my throat saying she’s gonna kick me out the house if I don’t start pulling my share, and cocaine is a hell of a drug. I tried to do good for that place, you can see it in my writings. With the red tape in from of me. You have to understand. One thing. Guys have egos. Big egos. Real big egos. Dr Dre. Featuring Hittman. Chronic. 2001. Released in 1999. But I was told Jack was the guy and important coverage. Kids and commits they wanted to call. Seen not tasted or something. But I did what I did. Wrote what was told. Reported what was given. Jack and Mitch Connelly point plank for Fran Consaco. That was the turn of the tides. When I’m told “don’t worry about him we got the makers mark”, I know recruiting. I know what that means. I’m not drikning right nwo. NWO. NEW WORLD ORDER!

There have been several rumors, I won’t say if they are true or false, but here is a list:

Gamecube

Trips to Taco Bell without parent consent

Money on the table

Money under the table

Light bulbs

Answer your phone

Bird is the word

More things are going to be said. That’s just the list of it. I won’t say what rumors have been or will be, but there will be more:

Guacamole Garden

Roids at the ranch

Really, Big Ego’s is one of the best songs on that album

Etc

I’m a firm believer that everything has a reason. Mistake are made. I saw a few. You saw a few. We’ve all seen a few, done a few, robbed people, killed people, murdered people, a few.

As I said before, I got bitches to pay, hoes to sway, and Cocaine to sniff all day. That’s everything to me. And if you cross me I will creep up to your house at night, shoes a size or two bigger so they can’t trace the prints, break into your bedroom, stomp your bitch ass and unload the clip cause it’s getting real real up in here.

For everyone here to tell their recruiting story. Let's call it a short story competition. The winner gets upvotes for, I dunno, an hour before it's deleted.

Also, I may be the only one in the office today.

Pretty sure this is a spoof of the MSU (ntmsu) alum who used to work on the Ole Miss 247 (John Farley) threatening to out Ole Miss if some unnamed villain didn't leave him alone.



There's a thread on the front page.

So I'm heading up the M-One Fitty, and stop in at Arby's.  I notice that there's a kid in their rocking a Block M on his lid, but don't think too much of it.

Soon enough, though, a guy - I can't say if he was a booster - but the kid called him "Pops" brings a bag over to the table.  The bagman pulls out a couple of sandwiches and fries, and gives the rest of the bag to the kid.  "Pops" says "take off the hat" - right before handing the kid the bag.  The kid does, and then gets the bag.

It was clear as day that the kid wanted to represent the M, but wanted "the bag" more. I'm not going to use the kid's name, but let's just say he was a kid Michigan wanted.

When he left the Arby's, he had no hat on his head.  And check this out, they drove off together.

I see this sort of stuff going on all the time.  Dirty business.

Now, you may ask why I'm spreading this sort of dirt in a public forum.  Well, I've got pets, and as it gets cold those pets have a bad habit of wanting sweaters.  So if you wanna come after me, bring it on.  But my pets aren't gonna be shivering - you will.

LMAO!!!  My mind is googled...  This post was a fantastic sarcasm of the Miss St (or is it Ole Miss?) writing style!

Thank you, Coyote, for a good morning coffee break before Cesar's announcment!

1991 (or 1992) and I'm recruiting Northern Ohio for Michigan cause my sister who lives in AA is next door neighbor and friends to our then Recruiting Coordinator Bob Chmiel (different world back then).  I also shared season tickets at the time with Marty Bodner (he of the Bodner twins  basketball backcourt circa 1978-1981) and our future ticket coordinator.  Marty at the time was the DA for Barberton Ohio and the two of us were heading up to a game one Saturday when he gets a call from Scott Loeffler's parents asking could we give Scott a ride to AA cause they couldnt.  Scott was taking one of his official visits that weekend so it seemed like this would work out nicely.  Scott was from Barberton, Marty was driving from Barberton to Hudson to pick me up and three of us would go to the game together.  Nice plan huh?

Except doing so was an NCAA violation becaause I was listed as a recruiter and as such could NOT be in a car with Scott giving him a ride to the game.  Doing so would put Michigan in a bad situation so I get a call from the Athletic Department instructiing me under no circumstances should I or Marty give Scott a ride to Ann Arbor.  So we had to tell his parents it was a no-go and he'd have to find another way up to the game.

Cant remember if he made it up that weekend or not but he signed with Michigan so I guess it all worked out.

And FYI - that's Michigan's version of the "bagman".  We're Uber drivers.........
