Sorry, that’s the Slidell in me: it’s hard for me to resist a good shit show.

So they signed 5 players?

Yes, the same as the amount of 5 stars that TOSU signed.

Ok but those rankings discriminate. They don't even take into account that he plays music loudly at practice sometimes.

Or that he has a red mat outside his office that says “who said you can come in?”

They also don't factor in being a confident black man talking his talk

Maybe kids just don't want to deal with the circus of bullshit at a historically poor football school?

I won't deny that rubs some elements of our society the wrong way. With regards to recruits though, I would assume that a majority of them are black, so I'm having a hard time seeing how he's alienating them in that regard. I think Deion's failure is much more a function of that program turning into a fucking circus, his willingness to throw players under the bus and the shortcomings of a largely irrelevant football history.

I wasn't insinuating comments like that hurt his recruiting. It's unnecessary obnoxious comments like that that make the media overinflate his impact as a coach and recruiter while acting like he's a revolutionary. And yes, unnecessarily bringing race into conversations in an antagonistic manner like that are a pet peeve of mine. He deflects valid criticisms of his arrogant attitude and questionable roster management as people simply having a racial bias, conveniently ignoring media pariahs like Lane Kiffin back in the day also being heavily scrutinized for their brazen comments
