 Slaton, I suggest therapy. 

All ready there...I suggest it for everyone...

You're welcome to go off again. No problem.

Did I go off?..hmm...I thought I stated an opnion and a position...

Sorry my opinion offends you so much. 

No....I find ita bit that you are deemed a hater because you bring discussion to a board about a Wv recriut and if it is all not good news then no one wants to hear it...

They would rather wait until the kid comes to school ...steals a laptop, or a credit card, or sell weed...then throw the kid under the bus....and of course have one more opportunity to blame  society , the the Kids parents, the school and of course  it will always be RIch Rodriguez's fault at least ....for the  next 20 years..

I find it interesting that the only thing people on here care about is a kids rating on Rivals , how fast he runs and what he can do for the team..and it stops there..

What about the rest of the  due diligence...like where is the kid from?, what does his HS Coach say?, whats the graduation rate at that particlular HS for athletes, does the kid qualify?, has he been arrested?...

Kerns is  borderline in his second swing at Hargrave...that is 6 years to get a HS degree..to me that personally is a huge RED FLAG...90% of the kids at Hargrave are there for one year....so you are going to tell me that a kid that is still waiting to see if he can qualify,  is going to make on the College level..at a Univeristy of 27,000 students??...he is just going to wake up one day and be smart?...that is incredibly optimistic..

The person that I spoke to is a position Coach at the Division 1-A level...He said his school wanted to offer two years ago but was scared off...They looked at him again at Hargrave the last 2 years and said things have not changed...take it for what you will..

Guess I'll throw my 2 cents at this.  There are a TON of dumb people in college.  Doesn't take a brain surgeon to pass some of the courses in Morgantown - people don't shoot, you know it's true.

Try this on for size - WVU gets him the mimimum classes, requirements, etc...  and with a little massaging gets Kerns through...   Happens all the time.   How many TV interviews have you seen with kids all over the country who can't even speak enough English to articulate a sentence? - It happens, if he makes it to Morgantown, he'll be eligible one way or the other, guaranteed...

I have read nothing bad about Kerns from a character standpoint, and quite conversely have read nothing but good things when it comes to him being an upstanding person.  I will take moral, honest and not so smart over cheating, always in trouble and smart any day!!

Well Slaton..., where to begin?

While some of the things Slaton10 says "may" be true, y

What have I posted  that " May" not be true...

What may not be true is that this young man may not have a "posse," he may just have friends - that's what they used to call it.  Your information, albeit from an individual you believe to be hardwired, may be second or third-hand gossip before it was passed to you.  Your passing double and tripple hearsay while dragging his character through the mud serves no purpose.  There are obvious factual concerns about this recruit and his character is not currently one of them.  And listing the names of individuals who have already been in trouble proves nothing about your source.

Did you friend really know all of this... Can he/she predict the next lawbreaker(s)?

I had some teenagers driving wrecklessly through my neighborhood the other day while one of them was riding on the roof of the car.  Stupid? Yes

 

I have no idea  what kind of point you are trying to make here...or what that has to do with my post...

My reference to observing the wild teens riding the roof of a car was only to say that I saw this first-hand and still didn't feel comfortable identifying them as thugs or bad element.  You've never spoken to this kid, you have no first-hand knowledge (except the academic problems we all know about) and you've already determined he is destined for failure because of your alleged hardwired source.  

And I really don't think Smurph called you a hater, he said you sound like one... 

 

There's a difference?

It might be semantics, but yes, there is a difference in saying someone sounds like something versus saying someone is... 

Who was attacking?...I was responding..

I'm not sure that Smurph's response warranted an all out attack either

 

Not attacking...?  I think you told him to WAKE UP and said -

"Yo don't like hearing feedback..and only want to hear the good news..look  at things thru rose colored glasses while drinking the kool aid...well its a free world..what ever helps you sleep better at nights..but sorry...this is a National baord...not the local Wv HOMER board.."

"You go ahead and  live in your fantasy world and think Coach Stew is binging in nothing but kids that are chior boy's...its OK...it would make sense...You are a HOMER.."

You are right, it's an opinion based forum, but apparently only yours matters..., being that you are hardwired and all.

He also told me that Santa Claus and Easter Bunny are not real...but hey its only hearsay...din't let it ruin your day..

How is that Blue and Gold Kool Aid today???

You are right, it's an opinion based forum, but apparently only yours matters..., being that you are hardwired and all. 

  

Well ...what I have brought to the his board has always been more than just conjecture and innuendo...I have always brought correct information or have shared with this board things that I  beleive to be factual from credible people...and in this case ...it is fact...

You apparently can only bring a soap box...

As far as thinking mine  only matters...LOL!!...you are new to these boards and have obsolutely no idea of who I am or what  I am about....so you are stating unfounded opinion my friend...

But stick to it..it seems to fit your posting skills..

What the heck is this? The sheep lovers are squabbling amongst themselves? LOL...Where the hell is Loooneytoons? He is supposed to take charrge as the Don of the sister kissers and get everyone on the same page and in perfect homeristic harmony.... and he is doing a terrible job of that on this thread, too.

You shine drinking lads need to get back to the campfire and the circle thing singing songs etc around the fire or else the Earth is going to implode on us all!

Don't worry my mutant hillbilly buddies, pretty soon WVU is going to have that old scoundrel RR down on his knees groveling and apologizing to the toothless masses and giving their hard earned money back, too.... and that worthless dude you all are fighting about here will pass basket weaving 101 with a C- average and the world w
