![]() Yeah, I did. I also was going to edit, we are short on DTs for the future and badly want the guy. So, Payne doesn't want him to visit his "Dream School" right down the road that really wants him and that has a "tremendous job of recruiting him."

![]() Funny how this thing is so turned on its head.
Used to be that in-state coaches would tell their players something along the lines of "you at least owe the in-state schools a visit." Now this Ohio transplant, Clemson* legacy, pro-wrestling washout pressures his player to not even take an official visit to a place the player once described as his "dream school." Coach Payne better have a tremendous reason for taking this approach. Something almost apocalyptic. And I hope he is made to specifically explain it to his principal, his school board, and even the high school league office.

![]() I can say this about BJ though... Atleast he does care enough about his players to not push them to Clemson because any coach with some sense, sees that dabo is all about dabo and not about these young kids he suppost to be watching out for and leading them to better things... All thse recruits are coming into a program as kids and the job of these coaches are to make sure they leave as men...

![]() There only seems to be vague reasons for Payne not wanting him here. To say USC is not the best fit is very general. Why not just be specific and give a cogent list of reasons why Poona should not attend USC? Maybe he has, would love to know what those were and why.
I'll be completely shocked if he ends up here at this point. If he really wants to be here, then there should have come a point a while ago where he tells his half wit coach to get lost and let him make a decision. I also have to think our coaches are done. And one last thought, is USC not the best fit for Poona or any player in Payne's mind? If it is the latter, then HHHS ought to take a hard look at that attitude and policy. |

![]() Regarding Payne, I'm curious to know why he thinks USC isn't the right school for Ford. Can you offer any insight into his reasoning? I know that a high school football coach would hold tremendous sway over a star player, that actually makes a lot of sense since they can almost be like a third parent and unfortunately sometimes are the only source of stability. Seems like Spurrier might need to do the chacha slide with Grandma Ford to land this one! As an aside, I love it when I hear how close some of this generation is with their grandparents. Whether it be out of choice or lack of, always gives me hope for the future.

![]() I'd say both. I can't recall...anyone know what the status is of the sanctions they're under from the Sandusky trouble? I know they got hit hard but I don't know how much is remaining. If their roster is thinned from lack of schollys that might lead to an attractive lack of depth for Prince.

![]() Is this him?
http://www.cockytalk.com/member.php?u=27932 Kind of far from anonymous. I'll give you 1 guess as to which thread he's viewing...

Agreed. I have no issues with a HS coach giving advice to a player and Payne has that right. It should be objective. I'd be curious to hear the objective reasons and if those reasons are unique to Poona. |

![]() Yep, he has already messaged a couple of us on here telling us to come up to his office next time we are in his area.. haha Other then him saying that non sense, he felt like he had to defend his player because we were bad mouthing the young man.. Even though I feel differently about us bad mouthing the kid, I do admire the fact that he is standing up for him.. In my eyes, I think USC is the perfect place for Kaylon, but I am not one of many who has a say so in the matter either

![]() This is just a sad situation all around. No kid should have one of the biggest decisions of his life directed by anyone with an agenda. Maybe USC is not the right fit for Poona, but at least give him the chance to make that decision himself, if you truly have his best interests at heart.

Also, it seems that any badmouthing on here was the result of Payne's actions, so that's on him as well. If he doesn't realize that this is a message board and people are trying to decipher the mind of 18 yo's based on a few sentences, he's just making it more difficult and his influence on Ford makes it more vague. I guess that's just more proof to what we already know....that recruits (and coaches) are on this forum....watching...sulking in the shadows....threatening board members....
