thank you for choosing a guy who was recruited in 1982-1983 as an example of how silly my comment is about 5 stars who transfer likely isn't a five star.
He probably should've done that before handing out and accepting Clark's commitment.
I'm sure there is more to it than that
That was off the top of my head. To say a guy that is a 5 star isn't a 5 star because he transfers is ridiculous. Guys transfer for all sorts of reasons. I think we had a basketball player transfer here just a few years ago that was player of the year in the big east in his first year.
Glad Shafer decided not to honor it. From everything I was hearing, it sounded like it wasn't worth the trouble. I then had a few people tell me that was overblown but it looks like all the reports and rumors were spot on. Good luck to Chris, he's going to need it.
Don't successful programs and coaches deal with these kind of kids every day? I wish every kid was a gem. But they are not. Now, I have no knowledge of what his problem is. If it is legal, see ya. But if it is a big head, it would seem that is something that a strong coach should be able to handle.
I'm sure you do. But you are hearing it from one side.
I'm actually hearing things from multiple people who are all telling the same basic story.
But they would be hearing it basically from the same source. Sort of like Chris Mortonson's incorrect report that 11 football's were 2 psi short. He had 3 sources. He didn't know that each source had got their information from the same one source. This kid might be a bad kid. And Washington might be a bad kid. I guess we can't recruit highly rated good kids.
That's fair enough but at the same time: we're really only hearing anything from one side as is, and that's Clark's, since the coaches can't comment. I prefer giving the benefit of the doubt to the coaches side, rather than to the side of the kid who has already been committed to and spurned 4 schools before ever catching a pass.
I read that he got reamed out by Coach Mora at UCLA when he showed up for practice in street clothes (while recovering from Mono) and was talking on his cell phone.
If we want to make the jump and start beating really good teams, we need difference makers. As I said, if this kid has trouble with the law, different story. If it is something short of that, I say we take him and really, he has to behave. We would be his last shot. Give me a washington and a Clark with a couple of fast wide outs and Dungey. High SEC level offense.
Agreed. I think we need guys with 4 or 5 star talent and 2 or 3 star egos.
