Beamer said he got a call telling him the kid was planning to flip on signing day all along and this was staged. So Beamer was kind of expecting this. The kid and the mom played him the night before. There is no source he needs to reveal. I doubt he would say he got a phone call tipping him off if not true.
Screw this coach, Maryland, and their trash fans. Us longtime fans going way back know what a bunch of thugs Maryland fans are. Those basketball games under McGuire against Maryland were nasty.
Morality has not kept up with technology.
You were a good parent and at age almost 70, I was raised that way too. But lately, we have been on a collision course with decency and deceit. It is the new culture from a group (or several groups) that really had no culture before. This is the new norm.
Well, I don't put much faith in anonymous sources. I believe what Beamer said occurred just not so sure about if what his source says is accurate.
What about the blowback our way? Is this being blown out of proportion by the Sports media? We got played, but not like we haven't been played before. What the difference in this kid flipping and the kid that flipped to Clemson. In the end the results are the same. The only reason Beamer is butt hurt is he supposedly got some reliable info about a conspiracy about bring part of a publicity stunt.
Sounds like Beamer may have got played by his source. Not doubting Beamer's story, just maybe the info from his source.
Coach didn't make a big big deal out of it. He got asked a question, and he answered it honestly. I don't think the media or nation is making that big a deal out of it either. it's just our fan base and theirs that cares.
Yep…..And in the college football world I can’t think of a single team that needs it more than Maryland. Hell, Saint Francis probably has better national publicity football than those clowns.
The difference is his family and the Maryland Staff was in on it the whole time, and this isn't the first time UMD pulled this stunt.
Especially since the situations aren’t remotely close. Clowney was committed to LSU and had his scholly pulled, Barham pulled a stunt.
"butt hurt"? You mean pissed off. Put the damn blame where it belongs and quit talking shit on coach.
Seriously. May be some serious NIL $$ involved, which is cool now. No good football reason why you would choose Maryland over any SEC team. But we may have dodged a bullet. If the kid approaches relationships this way, he does not fit the culture that Beamer is building here.
I don’t think Beamer is dumb enough to go any further with this. He’s not in court. He doesn’t need to prove anything. To do that would just drag this on.
That involves significant risk - the risk of being set up by a tipster. You don't take that risk if you let things play out before you say anything. I'm not going to pan him. The wrongdoing that precipitated all this didn't start with him.
It only added honesty. Guess that’s out with teens and their parents nowadays. Just like society, kids rule and we’re allowing it.
and feels as if the end is near. Just no sense.
Beamer is a straight up guy. Leaking something is not his style.
Why and what purpose does that serve? Move on to the next player. Screw it. He told the truth. Say it and move on with life.
Amen. And amen again. You’re spot on there, but the younger generation is clueless about accountability. It’s always everyone else’s fault. Or I should be able to do what I want and you can’t judge me for it. BS!!! You’re a worthless piece of debris. Period. Now go find your safe space bs.
Ultimately, yes. And we're better for it.
Good points but I’m of the opinion that in this case Coach is 100% correct in calling out the BS. Sometimes you gotta call it like it is and I believe this situation qualifies….
I try to look at both sides of the issue. Beamer gets some information from his anonymous reliable source and calls out an 18 yr. Old kid, his parents, his high school coach and a college coach who all deny any conspiracy. I believe Beamer's story. Did it go down the way his source alleges? I don't know for sure but neither anyone on this site. I guess it depends on what side of the issue you are on. Should have moved on in my opinion.
