I'm guessing this was a drunk tweet? Our coaches usually take the high road and don't call out recruits, especially considering we've had a couple that didn't sign with us but later transferred to UK.

I remember Darin Hinshaw doing this several years ago and it did not sit well with the rest of the staff.

Mentioning that name should get you a 3 month ban

It may not be a misspell, could be an intentional kind of thing.
Maybe. But just about every Vince tweet has a misspelled word(s). Sometimes they're hard to even comprehend what he's trying to say because the grammar is so bad. I really wish someone would proofread them before he sends them because it's a bad look for the school.

Regardless of the grammar, what was the point of the tweet?

My read; OSU got a four star TE commitment that UK was also recruiting. The tell with Marrow pulling Twitter Fingers with UofL or OSU in these type of exchanges is his use of “SEC”.

He gets personally invested in recruits, and is hurt when 1 spurs him. So he reacts emotionally.

Him wearing his emotions on his sleeve has worked just fine for our recruiting over the last 10 yrs. No big deal. It isn't an offseason if Vince hasn't caused some twitter drama with opponent fans, rival teams, high school coaches

MSU fans hate him, makes him a hero to me.

Coaches get competitive. They don’t get personally invested.

Of course they do. They are not robots. Watch Saban coach a game.
I know several in various college sports. They are used to being told no and they are used to moving on from a kid because they like someone better. In both instances they pitch themselves as ‘having a personal relationship’ up until that decision is made on either side. It’s their job. I know we would like to believe somehow Vince is more pious than other coaches but they are all doing a job and competing. If it was a legitimate ‘I’m close to someone’ you wouldn’t be out there calling them out on their decision if you genuinely care about them.

If you are not personally invested in your occupation, its not really a calling is it?

When I was a junior at UK in engineering there was a guy that had made it that far without being able to spell kat-----oh, I mean cat. If you had asked him to spell coffee, he wouldn't have gotten one letter right, he would have spelled it kawphy. Not even one letter that belonged in the correct spelling.

I doubt it because It should have been mentioned by now, but I have to wonder if Vince's autocorrect was responsible for the error, it does it to me all the time. I doubt if anyone misinterpreted what he meant.
