Reported that he was silently recruiting for Texas on his visit here. I guess now the trolls saying he was a lock here can disappear

Bad Bull

Unfortunately the sips saying he was a lock will only multiple. In general the closeout to this recruiting class is looking like the demise of Sumlin. He isn't a good enough coach to win without bringing in top talent. The root cause will likely be the appearance of instability he created.

Good.

Character must not be a core value. Strong is as shady as they come.

Just another sip troll

Lol bro, while I agree Sumlin did hurt himself and this recruiting class with the quarterback instability and not clearing the air publicly, we are far from a bad class. We have some exceptional talent coming in, literally multiple players that not a single Texas recruit can be held in the same breath as. The safer bet is on Special Needs Charlie being gone after next year, not Sumlin.

But gigemtrev said he was coming to A&M! Liar!

so one was recruiting while here in aggieland and another while at Arkansas?
hmmm, so, he led coaches to believe he was open still and had them spend their resources on them... but in reality they were already committed.
If only there was a core value for not lying, something like Honesty.

Maybe one of their (horn) core values is DBU, aka d-bag U.

agree... lets not base this class on a few indecisive recruits. Rather, lets look to the ones that looked at their options, made a decision and stuck with it like grown-ups do.

Maybe this is all an elaborate plot to make it look like he is a slam dunk for the sips. He could be the silent commit and surprise everyone on signing day.

One can hope.

Seriously Clark? The same thing was said about Cuffee and he is now a solid commit to the sips. JM will commit to them as well. This seriously sucks. We can bury our heads in the sand all we want, but those *******s WILL finish with a higher rated class than ours. Book it.

Honestly, would anybody have a problem with this if Mack was recruiting for us while visiting Texas last year?

Charlie had recruits doing this last year, as well, no?

What can you do to address this?

Players you think lean to Charlie, schedule him with only very solid commits or few others?

What if SEC schools back off players or pull offers from those who have OVs to Charlie?

Send the message that Charlie is tainted. If you OV with him, then we'll back off.

I get players actively recruiting others... but if you are a silent commit, you shouldn't be recruiting others on OVs to another school. If you have announced a commit to a school and still take OVs or UOVs, then the hosting school at least knows they have a loyalty and the risk to bring them in.

I know many recruits remain silent and there are many reasons to do so. One reason I've heard is to draw coaches to their school. Say you are a QB who has a silent commit to a School A. The QB will have coaches coming to his school to visit or to watch and there is an exposure other players on the team might get with those coaches. This may include current Srs or Jrs or Sophs.

Dude, Mack did the same thing for us last year. Quit playing the victim card. It only makes us look desperate.

On NSD it will all be clear. But nothing matters until the fall. That's when we see if we can do better than our recent tradition of 5-0 followed by freefall.

He won't amount to poop... And, yes, I'd say the exact same thing if he committed to us. Next.

Sometimes players are flirting with other schools, or toying with them.

The thing with someone like Mack and Kyler, et al... Texas knew what they were dealing with. Players who had committed. I think that is much different than pretending to not be committed, when you are. I'm sure with Malik, Boyd and Hill, there was a lot of talk back and forth... pushing and pulling. You're not going to stop that.

But, if you have Cuffee and McC both silent commits who are actively recruiting other players on their OVs, while presenting themselves as interested... just seems desperate, IMO.

Seems like something you'd see at Miami or Louisville, but not from a respectable program who espouses Core Values.

Maybe I'm naive.

So Mack was a silent recruit for us and visited other schools under false pretenses?

I seem to recall him being very open and vocal about A&M. Nowhere close to the same thing.

Mack did not commit to us until NSD. Not saying he was a silent commit, but he DID visit Texas while uncommitted, and recruit for us. Your post could not be more wrong.

You know this how? Link of any sort? Don't remember this being a story at all. In Austin nonetheless, where there are plenty of BS stories...

We are going to take it on the chin this year in recruiting anyway. So if some kid comes here and recruits for someone else then F them! Send their @$$ home. I would not be bashful about it.

Sumlin did not know how to deal with the media following the QB debacle. He appears lost when it comes to public relations during a crisis. He has a history with this, going back to the JFF scandal days.

Someone get him a dog or he'll be fired.

So It's Sumlins fault the bagman made the rounds and we dont have one. How else do you recruit to a lame duck coach and a record that has been trash the last few year, and will be again this year. They might win some battles,but they still havent addressed areas of need.

You cant compete with the sips when it comes to paying players, you just cant. That , and the media is in full pr mode since they hired their hitman back that Patterson ran off. Did you notice the negative articles that they started to pump out soon as he got back. Status quo indeed.

You don't remember this being a story? It was a huge story on whorn sites last year. So what. This happens ALL the time. Jesus we like playing the victim card, unless the shoe happens to be on the other foot. IT IS NO BIG DEAL.

Who is we..? Are you an aggie? The fact 2 sip recruits were caught doing this a week apart is absolutely atrocious. I will gladly root against those disgusting excuses of "men".

good riddance. frees up a spot for another wr.

Funny how those who get told no seem to have fans who can't handle it and resort to making stuff up and calling recruits names and questioning their character. Happens at every school, but usually identifies the losers in the fan base.

Born and bred. Like I said it happens ALL the time. Our recruits have done it as well, and good for them. We need all the help we can get in recruiting. Don't get so damn butthurt over the least little thing.

It really sounds like you know everything about the recruiting process. Kudos man.. except i actually went through the recruiting process. Not on this level but when i visited other schools, i did nothing but focus on that particular school. I picked my school, called the other coaches that recruited me and thanked them. Callef the school i was going to an committed. I then signed on NSD with the place i committed to. But tell me how much you know, youre an expert.
