Recruiting violation? | Syracusefan.com

Recruiting violation?



Depends on the timing of the contact, and what the conversation was. These guys have pre-existing relationships with players.

If he's actively recruiting the kid to come to Syracuse from Bowling Green, then yes of course it's a violation.

But that's a pretty large leap by this Strack guy. And I'd have to think these coaches are smarter than that.

Yeah. Just because you are talking to a former player doesn't mean you are recruiting them.
 
Well...exactly how does this work though. We had assistants that came to help start recruiting here that were known to be leaving BG for SU, then went back to BG to coach the Bowl Game.

So I would assume that if this DID happen, it would have happened after the BG bowl game? Those guys had to coach in practice in the week leading up during that game and during the game itself, and they most certainly were contacting the BG players because they were COACHING them.
 
All that rule says is that SU coaches cant contact kids at BGSU without permission. If the kid reaches out to talk to the coaches, that is fine. The coaches just can't call the kid back.

Guy is an idiot.

Whole rule is meant to keep coaches from recruiting other schools athletes.

Our football team is on probation because of the NCAA stuff so this is not good. I hope its nothing. The FB team getting probation was a joke.

Plus until they signed a contract with SU they weren't employed by Syracuse. And of course they were still BGSU employees when the were coaching that bowl game.
 
I'd have to believe that our coaching staff would be smarter that doing something like this.

This reads like a small time reporter trying to break a story, who also has skin in the game. Hopefully its nothing.

First, it's nothing. Nothing would happen anyway.
 
We should put Jordan Strack in touch with Mike Ortiz and the DYST_Now guys...he would fit in perfectly over there.
 
So we either screwed up.

Or this guy put a reputation on the line that no one knows about.

Like me saying that I would never go out on such a limb to tweet Kate Upton if I wasn't serious about hooking up with her.
 
The rule even jumps pretty quickly to the conclusion that contact, regardless of who initiated it, is about the athlete transferring, unless I read that wrong. Even that seems like a bit of a leap to assume that's the case when there's a pre existing relationship.
 
Hypothetically ...

I'm a BG coach. I spend 1-2 years recruiting a kid, then the next 2-3 years as a mentor while he's on campus.

I leave to take a job at another school.

The kid has an issue and calls me up to talk, and I hang up on him.

Like that ever happens.
A lot of these bonds are lifelong.

But, rules are rules, if they were broken, and that's a big IF. Lot of speculation about a supposed private conversation, right?

I don't see this getting any legs.

Me neither. As stated above, this comes across as a butt hurt alum / no name reporter trying to manufacture a story.
