The days of Gil Thorp are loooong gone; never underestimate people’s inclination towards boorish and underhanded behavior.

There was a D lineman recruit back in the day, not Haynesworth but pretty sure the guy was an instate recruit. The guy had been on at least the main gamecock forum I was following at the time for a week or so before NSD, telling everyone to make sure they live streamed his announcement on signing day, it would be good, make them happy. When it was time for the announcement, everyone but him in place, “Rocky Top” blared over the PA, the douchebag came running out in UT gear, and pronounced what an honor it was to commit to Tennessee.

I remember that. It was an offensive lineman wasn't it? Don't remember him doing much at Tennessee.

Agree, it is very odd for a coach to say anything at all about a recruit who signed with another team. That Beamer even commented on it and went further to divulge so much tells you this was an unusual situation. And his mom was running her mouth about us at his commitment.

Yeah, I think you’re right on both counts.

Not at all surprised that mother condoned it.

Watched a YouTube video of a guy who made fake delivery packages to prank porch pirates.

In one, you can hear the mother asking the kid if anyone saw him, and if not, then yes he could keep the box.

Really ticked me off that parents are raising their kids like that.

This.

Listen to the press conference. Beamer said he was called 10 minutes after the commitment and told Barnham would flip on Wednesday because "it was the plan all along." Additionally, Beamer said he was on the phone with Barnham and Barnham's mom at 10:33 last night and they were thanking Beamer for the opportunity they were giving Barnham. That's a lot more information than you would normally get during a press conference.

My inference from all of this was that this wasn't a kid that made a tough decision on Saturday and then tossed and turned all weekend and then made the best decision for him but rather something else (Leverage for NIL? -- talked about later by Beamer unrelated to Barnham). At first I actually felt sorry for Barnham.

bingo…..I felt sorry for him initially and hated we didn’t get him. Now I’m glad we didn’t. The world is a messy place these days. Love that a mom was possibly in on the con. Whatever happened happened so we’ll move on. Not wasting another keystroke on a Maryland player. They have been so irrelevant for so long, I couldn’t even remember what conference they were in. Neither can anyone outside of Maryland. I wish the young man luck.

And they're tired of it. Otherwise their recruiting wouldn't be trending upward.

Their recruiting has been trending that way for a while now...hasn't helped.

 

[Legendary Cock]

Yeah, I think you’re right on both counts.

That certainly sounds like something Haynesworth would do. Surprised to see it wasn't actually him.

IIRC it was Eric Young.

Better to have players than not to have players. You can't win without them anyway. At least that way, you have a clearer marker as to whether or not you need coaching changes.

 

[Carolina Doc]

Maryland has ugly uniforms, too.

 

[Legendary Cock]

IIRC it was Eric Young.

Who was the kid that Spurrier and co. sent home from an OV because he was acting like a jerk and trying to get other recruits to go with him to Auburn? That was an Eric, too, I think.

Last I heard, he was involved on a shooting incident and was kicked off the team at Auburn.

Remember the incident don't remember the recruit. Young went to Tennessee after leading our fans on social media to believe he was committing to us....at least I think it was Young who did that.

Does Eric Mack sound right? It's been a while, so I'm not sure.

Not sure either.....I do know he was one we wanted pretty bad.

Tend to remember more the recruitment of Corey Miller and the other Byrnes player by the UT girls from that year.

 

[Ratheolcoach]

IIRC it was Eric Young.

I played with Eric at Union. He was coming to Carolina up until the last pitch from Fat Phil. He tore his knee up I think his junior year in the game against us. Had a brief career with the browns and got cut.

Eric Mack acted badly on his visit to USC, signed with Auburn & ended up getting shot while at Auburn. Fortunately he survived
