It means 20% either don’t know, haven’t made a prediction yet, or think he’s going to a school not listed in their database (JUCO?).

Lester doesn't need a poisoned locker room at this point. He has a leadership council among players and they do measure recruits on visits. One of the reason Reed signed here

RE: Official Recruiting Thread - 2018
So do we have a kid you can’t trust?
Do we have a kid who has committed a crime?
Do we have a kid who has a diva complex?
What about this kid makes him toxic?
Is this a kid who has no chance at redemption?

I tend to not believe much of anything from anyone from New York.
Amazing this board has player already convicted of an unknown crime.
Sad

RE: Official Recruiting Thread - 2018
I tend to believe there must be some fire when there's this much smoke. Highly regarded prospect, does well in a prominent All-American game, dropped after a year long commitment then has multiple high level schools show interest then say no thanks after just a few days. Something is up.
Doesn't mean it's a legal issue.

Who said it would be poisoned? A lot of guys on our team know him already.

Well you say take him. Apparently they haven't for a reason. I offered my two cents. Sounds like half a dozen schools could just take him but haven't

WMU took chances under Dr. Fleckenstien and it reulted in an armed robbery in a drug deal......no reason to tempt fate gotta believe Lester is exercising some sound judgement .

Haha. These posts are fun. No program is squeaky clean. None. College coaches take chances on kids, just the way it is. I promise you, someone will get in trouble under Lester's watch. And it might be sound judgment in this case with Sampson, because clearly more than one school is hesitant here. I just tire of rumor driving the verdict on a guy when nobody here even knows what the issue is.
I have a question for everyone. How come nobody gives Hawkins any crap because he recruited a guy that took part in a murder?

Clearly the kid from Ohio was a mistake. They didn't due their homework on his background. I think the kid from Penn. just got hooked up with the wrong kid. Nothing in his background to suggest issues prior.

Come on warden, don’t be so obtuse.
White had an arrest record Fleck could have found on Google. The kid from Muskegon had lived a clean life. Screwed up by hanging with the wrong guy in the wrong place.

Why is more than one school hesitant here? Oh the kid is hoping the right school will come in and offer..... a school that hasn't yet offered him

RE: Official Recruiting Thread - 2018
Kennedy had enough, shall we say "interesting" material on his social media that could have given any coach pause. Hawkins attested that he had a troubled background but that his coach gave a great character recommendation.
I'm not sure you can really blame any coach for that type of one off event. If it is handled correctly and doesn't become a theme, that is. This is a risk you take on with any young men.

What do you find objectionable? Tweets or Re-tweets about his school, his teammates, coaches, or friends having success? I only went back a couple months, but didn't find one thing, let alone half?

Maybe he found the wrong one? I checked too, and if anything it seems too obsessive about football.

RE: Official Recruiting Thread - 2018
Just read an article in the Detroit News stating that Rod Oden, the coach at Detroit East English Village, will step down. He's exploring other options. I'm sure this decision has no tie in with the fog around Tyrone Sampson, but you never know.
