The Prowler 1 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I find it kinda funny that this is the first time that I've heard of the NCAA meeting with players to discuss recruiting....Also, notice how Julio's Head Coach said that he wanted to "Sit In". If I was the NCAA I'd say that he could, only after a few minutes alone with Julio. Then I'd see how Julio answers the questions differently with/without his Coach sitting there right beside him.

kt7185 0 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 That link sure makes it seem fairly routine. I'm not thinking that any spin will be needed. Not sure if it is just the way that they usually do it but it is odd that they don't take the top x number of prospects to interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runswithscissors 33 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I find it kinda funny that this is the first time that I've heard of the NCAA meeting with players to discuss recruiting.... Rarely reported about, the Top Prospects Program - formerly called Project Intercept when it started in 1983 -brings the NCAA face to face with some of its brightest future stars before they ever enroll on campus. James Jones, the Florida high school coach of LSU signee Patrick Johnson, said he also received a meeting request from the NCAA. Johnson was ranked No. 5 by Rivals.com and No. 14 by Scout.com. funny, didn't hear you mention anything about that in the article. of course not, then that would slow your spin down...

The Prowler 1 Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 "Soon, the reason for the call was spreading around the community and causing jitters: The NCAA wanted to schedule a meeting with Mountain Brook's Tyler Love, a highly-rated offensive lineman who signed in February with Alabama." Hmmmm, wonder why people would be worried or as the article states, jittery. Also, did you bammertards notice that it says that it has been Rarely Reported but that it's been going on for around 25 Years? So....I wonder why it's being reported now, is it because some of the people in Mountain Brook and Foley are Nervous and are asking why the NCAA's coming to talk to their Prize get for the U? Just wondering, $pin away windowlickers....aight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering, $pin away windowlickers....aight? because they probably didn't know the NCAA had such a program either. maybe it is being reported to keep people like you in check. you are really REALLY stretching to spin this. but by all means, please continue. windowlickers? wow. that hurts me so....sticks and stones, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kt7185 0 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Man prowler this is kinda far. I mean I don't blame anyone for being "jittery" initially. I am pretty sure that when the NCAA comes calling it can make that feeling happen. Note that the wording implies the call made the community jittery, this is likely a result of lack of knowledge of the Top Prospect Program. Nothing in that article suggests ANYTHING illegal was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quietfan 233 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 The link makes it sound pretty mundane, just normal routine by the NCAA with no implication of specific wrongdoing or allegations, IMO. But what I love is that many Bammers are only going to catch the headline or hear "NCAA interviewing top Bama recruits" and freak out, thinking either: 1) "The damn NCAA is out to railroad us again!" or: 2) "$#*t! We've been caught and we're 'staring down the barrel' again." Either way, Bama fans in meltdown mode are always fun to watch! ...And if it actually makes some REC members lose some sleep (or perhaps do some late-night document shredding? ), why that's just entertainment gold, baby!

I think you're confusing "freaking out" with laughing, which is what I'm doing...not so much at the Bama fans on this board, but at the ones I know personally who won't hear anything but the headline and will react in the way I described.But I welcome you to laugh back. Laughter is good for the soul, and I don't mind being the object of laughter if it brings joy to someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
