I would have dropped him right then and there, especially if we’re trying to set the tone for a different culture.
Cornelius nunn
Well - that tells you a lot about him. Not a death sentence, but I wouldn't expect to see him in Syracuse Orange.
Fran seems to be a man of his word, and expects the same from everyone around him.
Yeah it’s one thing to decide to go elsewhere or even flip. Hastings decided to go elsewhere but he was classy about it. Then when his position coach left, it worked out for him to reconnect with the staff here and ultimately come here.
When you look at the personal standards of young adults, you see a living reflection of the environments in which they were raised. The “young athletes” have been immersed in our sports culture where the leaders and role models have taught them to look out for yourself.
Yeah, I've come around to the opinion that holding 16 to 18 year old kids to standards of behavior adults can't live up to is foolish.
Sometimes guys want to transfer to a better program. Why wouldn't he want to transfer to the national champion?
I think we just need to change the terminology. We need to get rid of the word "commitment." Maybe a kid should simply say it's his current "intention" to go to a certain school. Once he signs his LOI he can be considered committed... until he enters his name in the portal a month later.
Touche my friend
You do realize the “statement” is double or triple hearsay. The poster heard it from a friend, who heard it from a friend, who heard it from another, who could have been messing around.
I think you are right and that was part of my point in a way. Fran is trying to establish a program with core values that are contrary to a reflection of these environments. Hence why I questioned if the kid would have been a good fit here to begin with. Especially if he was openly bragging about using us to get what he really wanted. Once again, we obviously have no idea whether this was true or not, or anything about the kid at all really. But I don't think it is wrong to make the inference that IF that was truly his sentiment, we would be better off moving away from people like that given what we are trying to build.
The poster heard it directly from a coach who heard it directly from Demetres. It’s second hand and we have no reason to think either were lying. Don’t be a drama queen.
We all played the pass the message game in school. I am not doubting the OP is relaying what he heard. There is a reasons hearsay is not allowed in the court room: it is inherently unreliable.
Why do you say that? Kind of different situations Florida guys and a kid from PA.
Only cause I saw on his Twitter the first official day 26 kids could be recruited he put his phone number and said coaches message me
He said it and I thin kFran is smart enough to avoid him in the future.
