Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 5084139, member: 127"] I have an issue blaming a 22 year old more for the situation than a 50+ year old multi millionaire coach ($4 million/yr) who overlooked the 22 year old for well over a month until the portal was closed to pursue him. Lampkin obviously wasn’t his preference until after the portal closed, thus having lost his preferred options, is now engaging in a bidding war to lure him from his commitment (regardless if it’s considered verbal). It may be legal now, in fact what isn’t -but ethical - hardly. If I was in the coaching profession, I wouldn’t forget the coaches who engaged in these tactics. I agree that it would be great if Lampkin shut it down but when you have coaches engaging in these tactics, setting the example, I guess it’s too much to think a 20 something player would refuse to play their game that he could benefit and make more $ from. Just sad and how screwed up college athletics has become. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
