Negative, I was the messenger and Mike shot at me.....It's a thread in the recruiting forum correct but the rule mike quoted "Out of respect for recruits and their families, special rules apply to this forum. The following are not permitted:
Profanity -- Bashing recruits -- Open Letters -- Premium Info -- "Any News?" -- Off-topic material" had to do with Recruits....this is in the recruiting forum but it does not involve a recruit. A recruit is someone currently being recruited, he may have been a recruit in the past but obviously that ended when he decided to take his talents to Iowa. If you suggest a former recruit always fall under this rule then you better go clean house under several former players threads including Clarett and Herbstreit. Two polarizing individuals (for different reasons) who were and are attacked often and were at one time recruits of the program. Nice of you to invoke the good old boy system here where rules are interpreted as you want them to be.

There's no interpretation. It's just what it says. You even bolded the part that matters. "Special rules apply to this forum."

I don't know how exactly rules are being interpreted the way we want them. It literally says the rules apply to the forum. I'm not sure why threads in that particular forum would be excluded from the rules of that same forum, but you keep interpreting the rules as you wish.

Nobody is suggesting that former recruits' threads are protected by this rule. Just threads in the recruiting forum. Not sure what's so hard to grasp here.

Mo and Herbie's threads aren't in the recruiting forum anymore, by the way.

Iowa's chances to beat Missouri just took another hit. I liked this kid, even though he was playing at Iowa. Sorry to hear he messed up in this manner. :ohwell:

Honestly, I have to agree with Drep88 in one respect- DJK is no longer a recruit for any program. If Drep88 was banned for profanity then that's another matter.

Dang it :(... I know coaches and people close to the situation have a better picture then I could ever have but the young man moved mountains to become eligible to play college football and seemed to straighten out a bunch of items and be on the right path.....Very unfortunate.
