Unless Steel went to the coaches and said, hey, this dude is gonna end up getting charged with something... “I believe he’s gonna have sex with women while they’re saying no... he’s a piece of sh!t woman abuser...” (that kinda thing).... What the hell are the coaches supposed to do???
He’s a friggin freshman, highly recruited, thinks the world owes him. It’s part of the un-recruitment process! “Hey kid, sorry you don’t like your roommate. Sucks. We’ll see about changing rooms for you when this semester ends.” That’s the normal way to handle these situations. So unless he specifically raised concerns the Jones was a potential sexual abuser, I’m sorry. I don’t see how they “screwed it up”. Especially when the police reports don’t match his concocted story.
He used this situation to gain eligibility because he’d changed his mind.... again.....like he did how many times during recruiting.?.
Kid was a freaking high drama, indecisive freshman. Being treated like a freshman in the de-recruitment phase they ALL have to undergo. Im so sick of hearing how the coaches screwed up. Look, there’s plenty we can blame them for. Maybe even taking Jones himself, we can say, “we’ll maybe they should’ve known”. Idk. There is plenty to blame on them for other sh!t. This ain’t one of them. Everybody stop it. Just stop it. It’s ridiculous. Bunch a puzzies thinking we should hire fortune tellers instead of coaches... what? We should keep treating these freshman like they’re being recruited. That ain’t how it works. Period. Get over it.
