Mac and Company on the Trail

[LighthouseGator]

(OSU also has a long tradition of players driving sports cars, too, though.)

And getting tattoos.

Better keep hoping Bama doesn't start loving basketball, or they'll offer Calipari a deal he can't refuse.
Sabin & Calipari at the same financial finaglers' sanctuary city.

you don't know do you, UK basketball makes Bama look like a saint.

And tattoos, don't forget the tattoos. How in the hell can these kids that come from such poor upbringings have $5K in tattoos, $200 shoes, iPhones, etc before they even step on campus.

Pimpin hoars and boostin stuff. Most of it comes in the form of financial aid (maintaining that ppg avg)

I'll bet the two are quite comparable.

 

[gingerlover]

Out of curiosity what is Drew Hughes part in our recruiting problems if any?

Yeah, Forbes has the UK basketball and Bama football as the two most high profit-sharing industries in the USA.

That'd odd, because Bama football and UK Bball aren't very good at sharing.

all of it. He's the one who is suppose to be identifying kids early. Us offering in state top 100 kids a month before national signing day is a travesty.

 

[Slevin]

Aubrey Solomon no longer visiting. The kid is an absolute head case. He'll either be a monster in college or fall off the face of the earth. No in between

Read recently that people in his position will have 3 or 4 assistants at the big programs. Sounded like he's been short staffed

@MistaAlderman: Another twist to the Solomon saga

Agree on support staff, we have (I read) 6 total and Alabama has 19 doing the same job. I'm sure he's overwhelmed. But I agree w/ Slevin that offering top 100 Florida kids this late is inexcusable. There's a half dozen stories of top 50 type kids saying we either didn't offer or dropped the ball (i.e. quit contacting them). These kids should be getting a text message daily from our staff....or 10.

We have less than Bammer, I'm sure they can cover that film and the states better, but no other staff here has had less support staff and those other staffs didn't wait until December to finally try to start recruiting.

This staff is fvkking lazy. That's all there is to it. There is a whole damn lot of laziness in Butterland.

@ZachAbolverdi: Solomon was always a long shot for Florida

LOL, he always says that after pretending we are going to land the kid for a year.

It has been rumored (and possibly already verified, but I'm not sure), that Meyer's staff actually utilized Rivals.com as a safety net to make sure they were covering every potential prospect. I used to find that idea rather funny and a bit pathetic, but in hindsight it may have been rather genius given the limited staff resources.

 

[gatormandan]

Not to worry. I heard they have updated all of our popcorn poppers at the swamp and they are state of the art.

To be fair, Solomon has named 6-7 leaders in his recruitment I think.

Yeah... That's what his girl says too...

 

[rogdochar]

Wait, with Mac's recruiting prowess how can we tell when the "dead-period" is over?
