So ingenious. You must be a far left liberal democrat that is crooked as hell. You can't engage in a discussion without changing someone else's post to fit your narrative. Nice touch from an idiot.
Lol, what? Those were literally your words verbatim! Do you seriosuly not even know what you are writing?
And no, Trump 2020 - MAGA all the way for me! Screw socialism!
What's with your constant use of the ad hominem attacks? Are you reall ythat insecure with your ability to articulate a coherent response without resulting to fallacies?
Who the hell are you? Who made you the authority on how a family conducts their business? Go back and read the bolded part of your post. Do you not see how ridiculous you're coming off?
Run your family the way you want, just know, every family is different and in case you haven't noticed, you are the only one arguing this ridiculous point.
You're that one ugly chick in the group of hotties that doesn't realize you're butt ugly.
What is ridiculous about it? Would you apply, interview and speak with potentail employers on behalf of your 22 YO child? Would your parents have done that for you?
Now they would likely offer advice on jobs and companies. Maybe let you know of places that were hiring and put in a good word if they can, and all that is great! They should do that, but there is a reason they don't apply, intrview and speak to employers on your behalf. You are a grown adult that should have the confidence and ability to handle that on your own. If not, there is a problem.
Do you honestly not get the difference?
What's with the ad hominem attacks? That insecure about your argument?
1 there usually aren’t grad transfers that bring as much to the table as Blackshear. He’s a difference maker
2. He does not appear to have a good idea yet as to where he will land
3 UK is involved, when Uk is involved it’s a story
4. People are reaching out and talking to his dad. He’s just answering their questions
5. The fact anyone has issues with a dad helping out his son at any age is what’s odd here. Not the Blackshears.
Also before you use Reid Travis as an example to support your dad shouldn’t help his son argument UK and Reid were pretty far down the road of done deal by the time his situation played out and UK was the clear front runner the entire time.
Just put me in the side as a dad where I don’t understand anyone taking issue with a dad helping his dad for any reason. To each their own I guess.
Their have been a lot of big ones in the past. I would say Reid was pretty major. They were actually very smiliar situations. Both big time conference players, both wanted to go pro and tried that option first. Reid was in the transfer portal for a while and then announced he was visiting here after that going pro was not a viable option at the time. I do not recall his dad or family doing interviews about what would be priority for them.
Sestina is the 3rd rated transfer this year and I don't recall his parents making statements like Kerry's dad.
I think he probably has a good list he is sticking to. He obviosuly wants to be a pro, so you don't just go anywhere if that is the goal.
UK has expressed potential interest. There are no actual reports they are involved yet.
His dad is giving interviews always mentioning himself first and what he wants first. That is a pretty strong indicator he feels in charge of this.
Big difference in helping and controlling or leading. A 22 year old should be getting help and advice, but they should be controlling it themselves.
A lamp post is giving him the benefit of the doubt. Not sure he is that intelligent.
More ad hominems I see. Wonder why?
Most of them manage it and then let the kid make the final decision. How is that different from pros letting managers and agent manage their destination then they make the final decision? And that’s grown men. Same with tv personalities who are 30-70 and coaches who let managers and agent manage their decision. This is beyond common for college athletes except the only difference is it’s not publicized
Who are these most in the grad transfer ranks? Can you provide some proof of this?
An agent is hired to negotiate deals and legalties of contracts with teams, endorsement deals, companies, business affairs and so forth. There is no deals to be made here or arrangements made. There aren't legalties to work out. This is a very straightforward process where you pick a list of schools that put you in the best chance to reach your dreams. Choose the one that you feel the most comfortable you can achieve that goal with. Your dad can't and shouldn't make that decision for you. They can absolutely help and provide support and feedback, but his father appears to be leading this and calling the shots. Just read his quotes. He always mentiones himself and what he wants first. Kerry seems to be second. That is a bit odd.
Would you apply, interview, speak with ponential employers for your 22 yo? Would your father have done it for you at 22? Seems odd this would be much different.
