If we knew what course of study that Ford intends to pursue, or his academic performance in high school, we could speculate more about that issue.

Than why did he commit to Louisville? smh. No way.

I won't be surprised if Poona commits to Texas on Sunday then faxes an LOI to USC next week, we tell him it's not signed and then he signs it and faxes it to Missouri or something haha that's how nutty his recruitment has been

If we want him will accept it the LOI. If we don't want him any more we will stamp VOID on it and fax it back to him.

Can any of you offer insight on the particulars, why he opposes SC, when the why occured, with whom and over what did said issue occur, would an objective observer assign any credibility to his reasons and if Sc does share in the blame for this "issue" then has it been adressed, why has it not been resolved. Is there any thing supporting this "issue" beyond SC fan conjecture? etc. etc.?? thanks

pure conjecture here:

I would have been much better off academically if I had left the state rather than attending Carolina the first couple of years. Why? Not because out of state schools are that much better, but because I had too many friends and family that attended Carolina and were party animals. Yes, I was weak and too easily influenced. Fortunately, I limped by while most of the worst influences flunked out - not from inability but from lack of applying themselves.

The coach COULD know that there are bad influences at Carolina that have strong relationships to the kid, and suspects/fears that they will drag him down. If he and and the kid talked about it, and agreed that it would be best for him to leave the state, okay. The kid might really think this is the best thing, but doesn't want to offend his friends and family by saying so.

Not saying this is true, but stating that this would be the only justification for the coach's behavior.

I'll believe it when it comes from Poona's mouth. Well, maybe I won't, because Payne got to him and who knows what he put in the kid's head, but I'll pretend I do believe it's honest. It doesn't change the fact that Payne has exerted too much influence than is appropriate for WHATEVER reason he may have in convincing Poona not to even visit the school and to not even let our coaches try to defend the program against whatever negativity Payne has directed toward its way. When a guy is trying to make an important decision he should have all the information he shouldn't have his coach trying to keep it from him.

haha, nice

[ReadR00ster]

I guess they don't have bars and keggers and rowdy women in Austin Texas. Anyone else want to make up some incredibly weak excuses why Poona would not want to visit the campus of his, as Poona himself has said, "dream school?" So BJ Payne is telling Poona we are nothing but a bunch of rowdy troublemakers in this state? That is his GOOD excuse?

What was his reponse?!?!?!??

[AtlantaSportsGuy]

Arthur Williams has cancelled his visit to USC and will stay committed to FSU

[AtlantaSportsGuy]

Is a 3 star TE that is committed to Minnesota, but is from Alabama. Was just announced he will be taking an OV to USC this weekend and is probably the surprise recruit we were speculating. Looks pretty good and is 6 foot 3 and can play running back and is a BIG back. Crystal Ball is trending toward him flipping to USC!

Man...what a violent runner.
Runs a 4.5 at 215 lbs and can catch out of the backfield...could be another Brandon Wilds-type back.

And, he fits our system of getting bigger, more physical backs (Cory Boyd, Mike Davis-25, Marcus Lattimore, Mike Davis-28)

Payne's silence on the matter speaks volumes to me. He doesn't seem to have trouble talking, except he hasn't offered any valid reasons. Worse yet he keeps saying it's all Ford's idea. Ridiculous.

Reminds me of Todd Gurley with a little less speed, very impressive

THAT is a football player. Why run around dudes when you can just truck them.

To save yourself from injury. But if you're the one doing the hitting, chances are you'll hurt the other guy and not yourself haha

That and, when there is always some official comment it usually comes from the mouth of BJ Payne not Poona. It's like BJ Payne is the one being recruited.

[ReadR00ster]

I am done with this. I am not going to waste one more thought on BJ Payne and his c*ck-blocking ways. Karma will catch up to him.

[USCfootball]

Why recruit a TE? We don't use the ones we have.
