He was a strong Miami recruit and just decommitted from there just recently.

Partially correct. Shannon stopped recruiting him when his Dad started demanding money. LSU was the high bidder.

Mecca · 01-05-2008, 02:49 PM

Well he knew that Miami would suck regardless....there's really no excuse for that team sucking but it does...

Just like a team like UCLA there is 0 excuse for those teams to be bad.

Why do those accusations always get thrown around when a guy decides to go to a different school than expected?

LSU fans and the like flipped out when Joe McKnight didn't go there, so then obviously USC cheated. It never fails a team doesn't get a player because the other school "cheated".

Kinda like USC not many years back. It all goes in cycles. From 89-01 USC was irrelevant. Now you are not at some point you will struggle again. Every team does.

In the case of McKnight USC has already proven it cheats with the entire Reggie Busch fiasco and the Jarrett living arrangements. I figure people feel the precedent was set them for USC to be crooked. Until then I never would have doubted they were clean.

For LSU or a lot of SEC schools there is a laundry list of documented issues like those at Bama that lead a lot to think that the SEC is crooked. One example is DeWayne Bowe at LSU. Another kid Miami was recruiting until all of a sudden his Grandma was able to afford a new house and Bowed was rollin in an Escalade. Keep in mind Bowe's Granny was poor and there was no way for her to afford a new house.

Typically 5-7 SEC schools finish in the top 20 recruiting classes every year.

Shit, last year 7 SEC schools were in the top 10 recruiting classes. There is no such thing as a team dominating that conference.

No?

So, it's your stance that Florida is in a better position than LSU for the next few years?

Mecca · 01-05-2008, 02:59 PM

I don't worry about it because fact is if it's as widespread as most people seem to think it is, is it really cheating if everyone does it?

Big loss for the Canes. That 48-0 assbeating UM took by VA was the clincher for UF I think.

My only issue with Patchan is he ran his mouth about UM not having any heart and things like that. Which was true in my opinion. Then he spurns UM instead of being part of the solution. He seems to bit a bit of a frontrunner as he left his old high school to go to another to attempt to win a state title. He lost to the boys from Booker T that are going to UM though. UF is more title ready then UM so it was his choice.

He was NEVER a strong Miami recruit. He refused to see Miami coaches when they came by his school to see him numerous times. PJ can have his money, let him go to L$U.

What's your argument that LSU is clearly in a better position, in fact good enough to dominate?

We had the #1 recruiting class last year and #2 the prior. We'll probably finish top-10 (definitely top-15) again this year.

I'm pretty sure his Dad and Uncle will never show their face at a UM game/alumni get together or event again. Good. They're no longer welcome at Dolphin Stadium as far as I'm concerned.
