There isn't anything wrong with a parent making their opinion known to their kid throughout a recruiting process. And there's nothing wrong with them trying to steer their kid towards the school they think is a better choice. But when your kid is ready to commit and make the next step in THEIR life, it's time for you to move out of the way and get behind them. I can't stand parents like this. Just like the LSU mom and more or less blasted both of her kids for their collegiate choices.

Ok, change happens. In Charlie I trust. I am not going to worry. 

I am confident Charlie will replace with a quality coach and recruiter.

I seem to recall Charlie Strong knows a thing or two about defense.

Who here believes that Charlie cannot hire a great DL coach?

Well, this is an unpleasant surprise - if true.

I have confidence CFS will hire a good replacement. Just glad this didn't happen before NSD. I kinda feel bad for Du'Vonta, Charles O, and Vasser.

Seriously though, if we were cheating fervently this year, there is no way we get 1 out of 10 possible kids on NSD. There is no doubt there is cheating going on at the moment, but pointing fingers is nonsense when both are doing it. Looking at it objectively, look at our class and tell me who we were in our heads over getting to sign a NSD. Murray had a built-in advantage, Mack always stated he wanted to play in the SEC with a program that will have the talent to win and we were on him early. Christian Kirk- we were on early and he was friends with Allen and became friends with Murray. Justin Evans- we had an agreement with his position coach and offered immediate playing time. Lockhart, Dunning, Pryor, etc. are all solid recruits, but not prospects that will have bidding wars over them. SHA, just admit that your source was overly confident and misread the recruitment. Mack flirted with at least 5 programs in the past year and gave them indications that he was seriously interested in them, but once the luster of the visits wore off, he was an Aggie. He is a passionate kid, almost to a fault, but it is a terrible assassination of character to insinuate that his family or himself are the beneficiaries of dirty play when they were polite enough to give your program a chance in the race after outright eliminating them.

And you're basing the "both are doing it" assertion on what, exactly? Hearsay? Wishful thinking?

That's the standard aggie cop-out for justifying your documented track record of cheating. UT has never been cited by the NCAA for major violations or banned from TV and bowl games. A&M has. Why is that? Logically, it must be one of two reasons:

1. UT isn't as dirty as A&M 

2. UT is smart enough to cover its tracks and not get caught 

Just because "everybody's doing it" in the SEC doesn't mean UT is engaged in these shenanigans. Just know to watch your step. The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You!

Ag,

You do know that you are talking out both ends? 

You argue that "it is a terrible assasination of character to insinuate that his family or himself are the beneficiaries of dirty play", when allegations are made against Aggy recruiting, yet by saying "both are doing it", you have engaged in the very type of behaviour that you detest.....assassinating the character of all the parents and/or kids that we recruited.

You can't have it both ways. Maybe Aggy logic allows it.
