quote:So did you, you dips***. But you offered him anyways, then lied to him right before NSD about Rumph leaving.quote:
"You knew what the requirements were to get in here. It's the state system. We know this, when you pass one part of the course, you're going to tell me you can't go back and pass the other part of it? Not that I would ever stop a young man from getting a college education I wouldn't. Once you have standards and you know what you have to go do, just be accountable. Just be a responsible young man. That's all I'm asking you do."
As to the third sentence, Strong is admitting that the fix was in. Lampkin just had to show-up or log-on and he would be guaranteed a passing grade. Which begs the question of whether he passed the first class.
"Here's my stance on that: we recruited Lampkin, there was so much time that we placed into Lampkin and then he understood what it took to get into school here," Strong said. "What I don't want to see happen is that all the sudden, we just set the standard where if a young man says, 'Hey, I have to finish this course and if I don't finish it I can go somewhere else,' now we're opening up the doors for other recruits for that to happen. So if you open up the door for one, what if it happens next year? Where there's another guy? Or it could be two guys."
So Strong thinks that future recruits might want to get out of their commitments to Texas?
Odd.

So Strong is mad that a kid is trying to get away from the program that lied to him about who his coaches would be? What a dip****
So he is admitting that the only reason they won't release Lampkin is it would begin the precedent of consequences for lying to recruits.
The more Charlie Strong talks, the more it becomes clear he is a dishonest two-faced hypocrite. He lied to his players at Louisville. Apparently he and/or Rumpf lied to Lampkin too. And his statements in his deposition for the Wickline lawsuit, wow, smh. What a clown show at utex.

And our coach wouldn't divulge the name of the new dc to a recruit, which likely resulted in him going elsewhere.
Nice username

And? There was no lie there. Just smart business.

That was the point. A recruit wasn't worth Sumlin throwing away his integrity.

Ah, got it. I misread your intent.
I guess Chollie might have a case if he could prove without a doubt that duvonta intentionally failed his classes.
But how do you prove that a teenager who could barely pass his classes to graduate failed intentionally??
I'm guessing the ncaa and any court in the land, outside of Travis county, would rule in duvontas behave.

"Strong added that he doesn't know if any tampering from Oklahoma took place."
Guy doesn't even know his zip code or starting QB's name either.

Not to quote Hillary, but what difference does it make whether he failed intentionally or not?? He's not qualified for admission. End of inquiry.
SO - the LOI becomes void on Wednesday. Can Du'vonte sign a LOI with OU that day, go on scholarship and start practice?
When does OU start classes?

It's all about the kids, but I want what's best for me and my team. If these kids don't like it, well they can just spend some time in the pit.
So Chollie has one recruit who is purposefully failing classes not to come on campus, and he's got another guy who is cheating on his ACT just to get there. That's the most amazing bookend set of recruits I have ever heard of.

If you recall, back in 2011/2012 when Sumlin first started at A&M, he initially target Pat Narduzzi for DC, but word leaked on to the message boards and got bacck to Michigan State who gave Nard-Dog a big raise to stay a couple more years. Sumlin was left holding the bag and had to settle for Mark Snyder.
In 2014, Sumlin learned his lesson and kept his mouth shut.
Lampkin and whichever parent signed LOI should file a negligent misrepresentation suit to void the "contract". Should be great to test Charles' theory of setting a bad precedent.
OP, this is not Germans; it is East Germans, as well as Russians, as in the Soviet Union.
Chollie's version of "Sovietization" is his feeble attempt to keep high school recruits from leaving the 40 Acres when they find out about his and his staff's recruiting lies. Joseph Stalin used this same tactic in the 1950s to try to supposedly keep "western agents" from entering the Soviet-held areas of the Eastern Block when in effect it was an attempt to keep anybody living in the Soviet sector from leaving for a better life in the West. The Berlin Wall was built under this same pretense.
Here is Chollie's version of Sovietization: "Here's my stance on [why I will not approve releasing defensive tackle Du'Vonta Lampkin from his National Letter of Intent]. We recruited Lampkin, there was so much time placed into Lampkin and [he] understood what it took to get into school here. ... You knew the requirements to get in here. It's a state system."

quote:He doesn't actually have to sign an LOI, right? Especially at this point, he can just enroll.

Correct. He can be a walk-on if he has to. The kicker is he has to be able to enroll after he is denied admission to sippystan. The only issue could be if the last day to enroll at ou is before that day in Austin.
I'm betting that Stoops has a scholarship available for him. If he doesn't, he will find one.

Malik will be on his 3rd DC when he leaves the sip program.
Chavis will still be at A&M. More than a fair trade for us.
It came down to a coach who couldn't name his DC versus a coach who can't name his OC.
I laughed
Sips getting silly now. From the shag:

Is this why the UT BOR voted 7-1 to allow the President special power to accept applicants? Would love for this to be the first social acceptance. The rule went into place immediately.
quote:
From NewsOK.com
NORMAN Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops confirmed Monday that freshman defensive tackle Du'Vonta Lampkin is on campus and in the process of joining the football team.
"Good to have Du'Vonta here," Stoops said.
Stoops said Lampkin didn't practice Monday, as he still has to be medically cleared like every newcomer.
Lampkin, from Houston, committed to the Sooners as a high school junior in November 2013, but decommitted the following summer. He then committed to Texas, signing with the Longhorns last February.
But two days after signing day, Texas defensive line coach Chris Rumph announced he was leaving to take the same position at Florida. Lampkin was openly upset about the news.
This summer, Lampkin announced at a news conference that Texas' foreign language requirements would keep him from being admitted to school, so he wouldn't attend UT.
The National Letter of Intent guidelines state that it is "declared null and void if you have a written denial of admission," but Lampkin does not have that denial letter.
Texas coach Charlie Strong said this weekend that he would not release Lampkin from his letter of intent.
Stoops said OU is still working through Lampkin's eligibility, but that he will be put on scholarship at OU.
quote:quote:
could be, I guess the timing of everything will matter. When is/was he "officially" released? I imagine it's quiet on our end because the Texas AD is seeing what kind of case it can build, if any.
quote:
He's been accepted to OU. He can move up there and enroll as a regular student, tuition isn't due until late September, but I don't see how he can engage in any football related activity except as a Walk on, and the coaches would need to be incredibly careful to avoid tampering regarding scholerships from my reading of the NLI rules. The fact that Stoops is openly saying they are going to put him on scholarship indicates:
1. they understand the end game here well enough that they aren't concerned about tampering
2. they $#@!ed up
3. he's talking about some sort of need based, academic grant, but again, that's seems shady as $#@!.
Again, the wild card is how the UT provisional acceptance interacts with the NLI and how hard UT wants to push a legal case on our end. If we want to litigate this issue, and it seems like that's where Strong is leaning, then Lampkin could be well and truly $#@!ed and this thing could drag out with the NLI committee for a while.
Of course, all this assumes Lampkin doesn't have the 33K to pay full tuition and just be a preferred walk on, which is a legal course for him.

Because a lawsuit with one Oklahoma school isn't enough?
quote:Yeah we wouldn't want to set a standard about being dishonest when it comes to LOI, would we Charlie? What a lying, arrogant jackass!
"Here's my stance on that: we recruited Lampkin, there was so much time that we placed into Lampkin and then he understood what it took to get into school here," Strong said.
