That's not what people are upset about.
Look, I hate all of the threads about the kid as much as the next guy, but I completely understand why they're there.
It's not the fact that the kid didn't pick UK, it's that the kid knew where he was going, for a month and a half before his announcement. He talked last night as if he didn't know himself where he was going. He made it seem like he would be UK bound. He got free tickets to basketball games, he led the staff around as if they don't have anything better that they could be doing for this program, and he seemingly spurned us.
It was just a classless act to lead coaches for football programs, fans in your home state, and whoever else may be concerned on our behalf, around the world for the sake of him wanting to have an "exciting, hyped announcement".
That is why people are so angry with him.
What's the difference ?...In recruiting you don't get pts for finishing second or third depending on where we finished...Originally posted by stereonut:
Had you rather have the UK cap sitting on the table when the decision was made by the number one high school running back in the nation, or not have it there at all, (like UL), even though he didn't choose us?
If you want the straightforward to the obvious, then alright.Originally posted by stereonut:
